This module addresses the common case where there are large data files on a supercomputer and these are to be processed, maybe on the supercomputer or maybe on local machines that can mount the supercomputer file system. The hsmfile module provides functions to
- Specify the file locations in a platform-independent way, given some platform-specific configuration data; and
- Copy files automatically as necessary from the supercomputer to the local machines.
It is based on a set of IDL functions with a similar purpose with the prefix mgh_san.
