About Fiber

Fiber is a Python-based distributed computing library for computer clusters. It was developed to support large-scale parallel scientific computation projects such as POET. It provides the same API as Python's standard multiprocessing library, so code written with multiprocessing can run across a cluster.

Fiber installs with pip, packages code and dependencies with Docker, and launches on Kubernetes with a run command. It can allocate CPU, memory, and GPU resources and includes error handling for worker pools.

Key features

  • Multiprocessing-compatible API for cluster-level programs
  • Installs with pip install fiber
  • Packages code and dependencies using Docker
  • Runs on Kubernetes via fiber run command
  • Dynamically allocates CPU, memory, and GPU resources
  • Built-in error handling for worker pools
Best for: Python developers familiar with multiprocessing who need to run programs on computer clusters.
Good for
  • Compatible with Python's standard multiprocessing API
  • Runs without a separate cluster deployment step
  • Allocates CPU, memory, and GPU as needed
