Release v0.4.3

Updates in this version:

• Issue #94 revisited.
• [minor] Fix syntax incompatibility with earlier versions of msgpack.
• [minor] Fix a bug of not updating meta-database when -s existing is used.

Release v0.4.2

This version implements a preliminary support to module specific container environment (docker and singularity for now), as briefly documented in:

Release v0.4.0

This release improves error handling and logging behavior. Command option -e was added to completely ignore errors and proceed to the end. Errors such as walltime or memory beyond limit on cluster are also tracked, in addition to job script return code status.

• Issue #194
• Issue #202
• [minor] #209, #196

A file signature clean up is required after this upgrade.

Release v0.3.10

This version improves the cluster job handling by utilizing MPI based multi-node computing (a mini virtual cluster so to speak). An option nodes_per_job was added to the cluster configuration template -- when, for example, nodes_per_job: 10 is set, the number of submitted job should be 10 times less than before due to internal parallelization across nodes. This mechanism makes the large benchmark execution behavior much more friendly on clusters because this will submit much less PBS jobs to execute benchmarks.
