Stateline is a framework for distributed Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling over a cluster of machines. It uses parallel tempering to run a large number of chains in parallel, taking advantage of the cluster to evaluate computationally intensive likelihood functions. Stateline uses the library to provide fault-tolerant network communication.

Stateline comes with a headless server that can connect with workers using ZeroMQ. The communications protocol is simple enough that the workers can be written from scratch in any language that supports ZeroMQ.


To get started with Stateline, please read the Installation Guide.
