Requirement for one or more computational accelerators, like a GPU or FPGA.

count: int¶: How many of the accelerator are needed to run the job.

kind: str¶: What kind of accelerator is required. Can be “gpu”. Other kinds defined in the future might be “fpga”, etc.

model: typing_extensions.NotRequired[str]¶: What model of accelerator is needed. The exact set of values available depends on what the backing scheduler calls its accelerators; strings like “nvidia-tesla-k80” might be expected to work. If a specific model of accelerator is not required, this should be absent.

brand: typing_extensions.NotRequired[str]¶: What brand or manufacturer of accelerator is required. The exact set of values available depends on what the backing scheduler calls the brands of its accleerators; strings like “nvidia” or “amd” might be expected to work. If a specific brand of accelerator is not required (for example, because the job can use multiple brands of accelerator that support a given API) this should be absent.

api: typing_extensions.NotRequired[str]¶: What API is to be used to communicate with the accelerator. This can be “cuda”. Other APIs supported in the future might be “rocm”, “opencl”, “metal”, etc. If the job does not need a particular API to talk to the accelerator, this should be absent.

toil.job.parse_accelerator(spec)[source]¶

Parse an AcceleratorRequirement specified by user code.

Supports formats like:

>>> parse_accelerator(8)
{'count': 8, 'kind': 'gpu'}

>>> parse_accelerator("1")
{'count': 1, 'kind': 'gpu'}

>>> parse_accelerator("nvidia-tesla-k80")
{'count': 1, 'kind': 'gpu', 'brand': 'nvidia', 'model': 'nvidia-tesla-k80'}

>>> parse_accelerator("nvidia-tesla-k80:2")
{'count': 2, 'kind': 'gpu', 'brand': 'nvidia', 'model': 'nvidia-tesla-k80'}

>>> parse_accelerator("gpu")
{'count': 1, 'kind': 'gpu'}

>>> parse_accelerator("cuda:1")
{'count': 1, 'kind': 'gpu', 'brand': 'nvidia', 'api': 'cuda'}

>>> parse_accelerator({"kind": "gpu"})
{'count': 1, 'kind': 'gpu'}

>>> parse_accelerator({"brand": "nvidia", "count": 5})
{'count': 5, 'kind': 'gpu', 'brand': 'nvidia'}

Assumes that if not specified, we are talking about GPUs, and about one of them. Knows that “gpu” is a kind, and “cuda” is an API, and “nvidia” is a brand.

Convenience function for constructor of toil.job.FunctionWrappingJob.

Parameters: fn – Function to be run with *args and **kwargs as arguments. See toil.job.JobFunctionWrappingJob for reserved keyword arguments used to specify resource requirements.
Returns: The new function that wraps fn.
Return type: FunctionWrappingJob

static wrapJobFn(fn, *args, **kwargs)[source]¶

Makes a Job out of a job function.

Convenience function for constructor of toil.job.JobFunctionWrappingJob.

Parameters: fn – Job function to be run with *args and **kwargs as arguments. See toil.job.JobFunctionWrappingJob for reserved keyword arguments used to specify resource requirements.
Returns: The new job function that wraps fn.
Return type: JobFunctionWrappingJob

encapsulate(name=None)[source]¶

Encapsulates the job, see toil.job.EncapsulatedJob. Convenience function for constructor of toil.job.EncapsulatedJob.

Parameters: name (Optional[str]) – Human-readable name for the encapsulated job.
Returns: an encapsulated version of this job.
Return type: EncapsulatedJob

rv(*path)[source]¶

Create a promise (toil.job.Promise).

The “promise” representing a return value of the job’s run method, or, in case of a function-wrapping job, the wrapped function’s return value.

Parameters: path ((Any)) – Optional path for selecting a component of the promised return value. If absent or empty, the entire return value will be used. Otherwise, the first element of the path is used to select an individual item of the return value. For that to work, the return value must be a list, dictionary or of any other type implementing the __getitem__() magic method. If the selected item is yet another composite value, the second element of the path can be used to select an item from it, and so on. For example, if the return value is [6,{‘a’:42}], .rv(0) would select 6 , rv(1) would select {‘a’:3} while rv(1,’a’) would select 3. To select a slice from a return value that is slicable, e.g. tuple or list, the path element should be a slice object. For example, assuming that the return value is [6, 7, 8, 9] then .rv(slice(1, 3)) would select [7, 8]. Note that slicing really only makes sense at the end of path.
Returns: A promise representing the return value of this jobs toil.job.Job.run() method.
Return type: Promise

registerPromise(path)[source]¶

prepareForPromiseRegistration(jobStore)[source]¶

Set up to allow this job’s promises to register themselves.

Prepare this job (the promisor) so that its promises can register themselves with it, when the jobs they are promised to (promisees) are serialized.

The promissee holds the reference to the promise (usually as part of the job arguments) and when it is being pickled, so will the promises it refers to. Pickling a promise triggers it to be registered with the promissor.

Parameters: jobStore (toil.jobStores.abstractJobStore.AbstractJobStore) –
Return type: None

checkJobGraphForDeadlocks()[source]¶

Ensures that a graph of Jobs (that hasn’t yet been saved to the JobStore) doesn’t contain any pathological relationships between jobs that would result in deadlocks if we tried to run the jobs.

See toil.job.Job.checkJobGraphConnected(), toil.job.Job.checkJobGraphAcyclic() and toil.job.Job.checkNewCheckpointsAreLeafVertices() for more info.

Raises: toil.job.JobGraphDeadlockException – if the job graph is cyclic, contains multiple roots or contains checkpoint jobs that are not leaf vertices when defined (see toil.job.Job.checkNewCheckpointsAreLeaves()).

getRootJobs()[source]¶

Return the set of root job objects that contain this job.

A root job is a job with no predecessors (i.e. which are not children, follow-ons, or services).

Only deals with jobs created here, rather than loaded from the job store.

Return type: Set[Job]

checkJobGraphConnected()[source]¶

Raises: toil.job.JobGraphDeadlockException – if toil.job.Job.getRootJobs() does not contain exactly one root job.

As execution always starts from one root job, having multiple root jobs will cause a deadlock to occur.

Only deals with jobs created here, rather than loaded from the job store.

checkJobGraphAcylic()[source]¶

Raises: toil.job.JobGraphDeadlockException – if the connected component of jobs containing this job contains any cycles of child/followOn dependencies in the augmented job graph (see below). Such cycles are not allowed in valid job graphs.

A follow-on edge (A, B) between two jobs A and B is equivalent to adding a child edge to B from (1) A, (2) from each child of A, and (3) from the successors of each child of A. We call each such edge an edge an “implied” edge. The augmented job graph is a job graph including all the implied edges.

For a job graph G = (V, E) the algorithm is O(|V|^2). It is O(|V| + |E|) for a graph with no follow-ons. The former follow-on case could be improved!

Only deals with jobs created here, rather than loaded from the job store.

checkNewCheckpointsAreLeafVertices()[source]¶

A checkpoint job is a job that is restarted if either it fails, or if any of its successors completely fails, exhausting their retries.

A job is a leaf it is has no successors.

A checkpoint job must be a leaf when initially added to the job graph. When its run method is invoked it can then create direct successors. This restriction is made to simplify implementation.

Only works on connected components of jobs not yet added to the JobStore.

Raises: toil.job.JobGraphDeadlockException – if there exists a job being added to the graph for which checkpoint=True and which is not a leaf.
Return type: None

defer(function, *args, **kwargs)[source]¶

Register a deferred function, i.e. a callable that will be invoked after the current attempt at running this job concludes. A job attempt is said to conclude when the job function (or the toil.job.Job.run() method for class-based jobs) returns, raises an exception or after the process running it terminates abnormally. A deferred function will be called on the node that attempted to run the job, even if a subsequent attempt is made on another node. A deferred function should be idempotent because it may be called multiple times on the same node or even in the same process. More than one deferred function may be registered per job attempt by calling this method repeatedly with different arguments. If the same function is registered twice with the same or different arguments, it will be called twice per job attempt.

Examples for deferred functions are ones that handle cleanup of resources external to Toil, like Docker containers, files outside the work directory, etc.

Parameters

function (callable) – The function to be called after this job concludes.
args (list) – The arguments to the function
kwargs (dict) – The keyword arguments to the function

Return type

None

getUserScript()[source]¶

Return type: toil.resource.ModuleDescriptor

A job function is a function whose first argument is a Job instance that is the wrapping job for the function. This can be used to add successor jobs for the function and perform all the functions the Job class provides.

To enable the job function to get access to the toil.fileStores.abstractFileStore.AbstractFileStore instance (see toil.job.Job.run()), it is made a variable of the wrapping job called fileStore.

To specify a job’s resource requirements the following default keyword arguments can be specified:

memory

disk

cores

accelerators

preemptible

For example to wrap a function into a job we would call:

Job.wrapJobFn(myJob, memory='100k', disk='1M', cores=0.1)

classmethod create(userFunction, *args, **kwargs)[source]¶: Creates an encapsulated Toil job function with unfulfilled promised resource requirements. After the promises are fulfilled, a child job function is created using updated resource values. The subgraph is encapsulated to ensure that this child job function is run before other children in the workflow. Otherwise, a different child may try to use an unresolved promise return value from the parent.

run(fileStore)[source]¶

Override this function to perform work and dynamically create successor jobs.

Parameters: fileStore – Used to create local and globally sharable temporary files and to send log messages to the leader process.
Returns: The return value of the function can be passed to other jobs by means of toil.job.Job.rv().

class toil.job.EncapsulatedJob(job, unitName=None)[source]¶

Bases: Job

digraph inheritance6c36c1fb8c { bgcolor=transparent; rankdir=LR; size="8.0, 12.0"; "EncapsulatedJob" [URL="#toil.job.EncapsulatedJob",fillcolor=white,fontname="Vera Sans, DejaVu Sans, Liberation Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans",fontsize=10,height=0.25,shape=box,style="setlinewidth(0.5),filled",target="_top",tooltip="A convenience Job class used to make a job subgraph appear to be a single job."]; "Job" -> "EncapsulatedJob" [arrowsize=0.5,style="setlinewidth(0.5)"]; "Job" [URL="#toil.job.Job",fillcolor=white,fontname="Vera Sans, DejaVu Sans, Liberation Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans",fontsize=10,height=0.25,shape=box,style="setlinewidth(0.5),filled",target="_top",tooltip="Class represents a unit of work in toil."]; }

A convenience Job class used to make a job subgraph appear to be a single job.

Let A be the root job of a job subgraph and B be another job we’d like to run after A and all its successors have completed, for this use encapsulate:

#  Job A and subgraph, Job B
A, B = A(), B()
Aprime = A.encapsulate()
Aprime.addChild(B)
#  B will run after A and all its successors have completed, A and its subgraph of
# successors in effect appear to be just one job.

If the job being encapsulated has predecessors (e.g. is not the root job), then the encapsulated job will inherit these predecessors. If predecessors are added to the job being encapsulated after the encapsulated job is created then the encapsulating job will NOT inherit these predecessors automatically. Care should be exercised to ensure the encapsulated job has the proper set of predecessors.

The return value of an encapsulated job (as accessed by the toil.job.Job.rv() function) is the return value of the root job, e.g. A().encapsulate().rv() and A().rv() will resolve to the same value after A or A.encapsulate() has been run.

addChild(childJob)[source]¶

Add a childJob to be run as child of this job.

Child jobs will be run directly after this job’s toil.job.Job.run() method has completed.

Returns: childJob: for call chaining

addService(service, parentService=None)[source]¶

Add a service.

The toil.job.Job.Service.start() method of the service will be called after the run method has completed but before any successors are run. The service’s toil.job.Job.Service.stop() method will be called once the successors of the job have been run.

Services allow things like databases and servers to be started and accessed by jobs in a workflow.

Raises

toil.job.JobException – If service has already been made the child of a job or another service.

Parameters

service – Service to add.
parentService – Service that will be started before ‘service’ is started. Allows trees of services to be established. parentService must be a service of this job.

Returns

a promise that will be replaced with the return value from toil.job.Job.Service.start() of service in any successor of the job.

addFollowOn(followOnJob)[source]¶

Add a follow-on job.

Follow-on jobs will be run after the child jobs and their successors have been run.

Returns: followOnJob for call chaining

rv(*path)[source]¶

Create a promise (toil.job.Promise).

The “promise” representing a return value of the job’s run method, or, in case of a function-wrapping job, the wrapped function’s return value.

Parameters: path ((Any)) – Optional path for selecting a component of the promised return value. If absent or empty, the entire return value will be used. Otherwise, the first element of the path is used to select an individual item of the return value. For that to work, the return value must be a list, dictionary or of any other type implementing the __getitem__() magic method. If the selected item is yet another composite value, the second element of the path can be used to select an item from it, and so on. For example, if the return value is [6,{‘a’:42}], .rv(0) would select 6 , rv(1) would select {‘a’:3} while rv(1,’a’) would select 3. To select a slice from a return value that is slicable, e.g. tuple or list, the path element should be a slice object. For example, assuming that the return value is [6, 7, 8, 9] then .rv(slice(1, 3)) would select [7, 8]. Note that slicing really only makes sense at the end of path.
Returns: A promise representing the return value of this jobs toil.job.Job.run() method.
Return type: Promise

prepareForPromiseRegistration(jobStore)[source]¶

Set up to allow this job’s promises to register themselves.

__reduce__()[source]¶

Called during pickling to define the pickled representation of the job.

We don’t want to pickle our internal references to the job we encapsulate, so we elide them here. When actually run, we’re just a no-op job that can maybe chain.

class toil.job.Promise(job, path)[source]¶

References a return value from a method as a promise before the method itself is run.

References a return value from a toil.job.Job.run() or toil.job.Job.Service.start() method as a promise before the method itself is run.

Let T be a job. Instances of Promise (termed a promise) are returned by T.rv(), which is used to reference the return value of T’s run function. When the promise is passed to the constructor (or as an argument to a wrapped function) of a different, successor job the promise will be replaced by the actual referenced return value. This mechanism allows a return values from one job’s run method to be input argument to job before the former job’s run function has been executed.

Parameters

job (Job) –
path (Any) –

filesToDelete¶: A set of IDs of files containing promised values when we know we won’t need them anymore

__reduce__()[source]¶

Return the Promise class and construction arguments.

Called during pickling when a promise (an instance of this class) is about to be be pickled. Returns the Promise class and construction arguments that will be evaluated during unpickling, namely the job store coordinates of a file that will hold the promised return value. By the time the promise is about to be unpickled, that file should be populated.

toil.job.T¶

toil.job.Promised¶

toil.job.unwrap(p)[source]¶

Function for ensuring you actually have a promised value, and not just a promise. Mostly useful for satisfying type-checking.

The “unwrap” terminology is borrowed from Rust.

Parameters: p (Promised[T]) –
Return type: T

toil.job.unwrap_all(p)[source]¶

Function for ensuring you actually have a collection of promised values, and not any remaining promises. Mostly useful for satisfying type-checking.

The “unwrap” terminology is borrowed from Rust.

Parameters: p (Sequence[Promised[T]]) –
Return type: Sequence[T]

class toil.job.PromisedRequirement(valueOrCallable, *args)[source]¶

Class for dynamically allocating job function resource requirements.

(involving toil.job.Promise instances.)

Use when resource requirements depend on the return value of a parent function. PromisedRequirements can be modified by passing a function that takes the Promise as input.

For example, let f, g, and h be functions. Then a Toil workflow can be defined as follows:: A = Job.wrapFn(f) B = A.addChildFn(g, cores=PromisedRequirement(A.rv()) C = B.addChildFn(h, cores=PromisedRequirement(lambda x: 2*x, B.rv()))

getValue()[source]¶: Return PromisedRequirement value.

static convertPromises(kwargs)[source]¶

Return True if reserved resource keyword is a Promise or PromisedRequirement instance.

Converts Promise instance to PromisedRequirement.

Parameters: kwargs (Dict[str, Any]) – function keyword arguments
Return type: bool

class toil.job.UnfulfilledPromiseSentinel(fulfillingJobName, file_id, unpickled)[source]¶

This should be overwritten by a proper promised value.

Throws an exception when unpickled.

Parameters

fulfillingJobName (str) –
file_id (str) –
unpickled (Any) –

static __setstate__(stateDict)[source]¶

Only called when unpickling.

This won’t be unpickled unless the promise wasn’t resolved, so we throw an exception.

Parameters: stateDict (Dict[str, Any]) –
Return type: None
