Dear NONMEM users,
I would like to inform the usersnet of a new software tool developed by
our group, called Piraña, which is primarily a GUI to NONMEM. While
development of Piraña was initiated to drive our cluster, we now think
it might be of use to other modelers as well. Multiple NONMEM
installations can be installed, managed, recompiled and used. The
software enables creation, management and execution of model files.
Furthermore, it offers some features for assessment of fit, such as
generating HTML run reports (using PsN-core) and creation of basic
goodness-of-fit-plots. As mentioned, Piraña can execute runs on a simple
cluster architecture that can be installed on any network system with a
shared drive, without the need for any third party cluster software.
Piraña is released as open source, under the GNU-GPL license.
Currently, only a Windows version is available. It requires NONMEM, and
preferably R, Perl, and PsN, to be installed. More information,
screenshots, manual and downloading from http://pirana.sourceforge.net.
Any comments, questions and/or bug-reports are very welcome,
Ron
