CloudVVUQ documentation

What:
CloudVVUQ - python library which allows running simulations in parallel and in the cloud with EasyVVUQ functionality.

Why:
To speed up VVUQ and sensitivity analysis (SA) computations using serverless compute services and extend EasyVVUQ library.

How:
VVUQ and SA processes require many independent executions of analyzed model. This step is an embarrassingly-parallel problem and can be parallelized using serverless computing.

For who:
Scientists with some technical background already running VVUQ and SA processes on HPC or local machines.

Performance:
Using this library you can speed your calculations hundreds or thousands of times.

How to use:
1. Have access to one or more cloud providers and choose suitable service for your model.
2. Prepare your model for cloud (see model_preparation section).
3. Install CloudVVUQ locally.
4. Prepare script that starts CloudVVUQ executor / Adapt your existing EasyVVUQ script.
5. Deploy the model (see model_deployment section). Test it on smaller scale.
6. Launch full-scale simulations.
