Conclusion

This has been a fairly basic introduction to glurmo, and hopefully it has made some of the benefits clear to you:

• glurmo makes it easy to keep your simulations and results organized
• glurmo makes it easy to re-use various aspects of your simulations in future simulations
• glurmo helps you avoid worrying about the nitty-gritty paths you use by giving you access to script specific variables

However, if you’ve run simulation studies, this all probably raises a pretty natural question: what if you want to vary parameters in the simulation? You could do this with the index script specific variable we introduced, but it would 1) be kind of messy and 2) might make you wonder why you shouldn’t just use job arrays. In the next section, we’ll discuss a powerful feature of glurmo to solve this: parameter vectors.
