====================================================== Sumatra: automated tracking of scientific computations ====================================================== Sumatra is a tool for managing and tracking projects based on numerical simulation and/or analysis, with the aim of supporting reproducible research. It can be thought of as an automated electronic lab notebook for computational projects. It consists of: * a command-line interface, *smt*, for launching simulations/analyses with automatic recording of information about the experiment, annotating these records, linking to data files, etc. * a web interface with a built-in web-server, *smtweb*, for browsing and annotating simulation/analysis results. * a LaTeX package and Sphinx extension for including Sumatra-tracked figures and links to provenance information in papers and other documents. * a Python API, on which smt and smtweb are based, that can be used in your own scripts in place of using smt, or could be integrated into a GUI-based application.
