Each was a loose end recorded under `### SDK` in the notepad. `serve` takes its own pidfile down on SIGTERM. uvicorn restores the handler it found and re-raises the signal it stopped on, so the default handler ended the process without unwinding and the `finally` never ran — which is what a stop sends, and what left `serve.pid` behind. `serve.log` is cut back past 5 MB by the engine rather than by the screen that started it, so an adopted engine is bounded too. Gated on its own stdout being an appended regular file, which is what makes the cut safe: the kernel then puts the next write at the new end. Cards are counted from `/dev/nvidia[0-9]*`, so `FLOW_GPUS`/`--gpus` of 0 means "work it out" the way `FLOW_CPUS` always has. The engine counts, not the accountant — a remote worker builds one of those from its own inventory, and detecting there would hand it the engine host's cards. The worker counts last: what a batch job says it was granted still wins. `GET /runs/metrics/names` is the distinct over a selection that `--list` and the terminal's metric picker were approximating by reading the newest run that had measured anything, which missed a name only an older run ever wrote. `MetricSink` announces each batch it has written (`run_metric`, carrying the names). Not a per-point event: one covers up to 500 points or two seconds of them, and the rows stay the record. The terminal comparison fills in as the first readings land instead of staying blank until reopened, and the browser refetches the run and any comparison rather than the list behind them. `retry --group` pages the list route by `before` instead of stopping at 500. The terminal dashboard takes the terminal's colours (`ansi-dark`), and the web UI can re-pair from Settings without disconnecting first.

Fluksio
Fluksio is a node-based automation software that brings trust and reliability to your flow. It just works and looks good. Get started by running
pip install fluksio
fluksio serve
and you're ready to go.
For data science
You can turn your existing data science project into a flow by decorating your functions with @node ...
# myresearch/train.py
import fluksio
from fluksio import Port, node
@node(
requires=["dataset", Port("lr", "float")],
provides=[Port("loss", "float", stream=True), Port("weights", "artifact")],
device="gpu", device_policy="prefer",
)
def fit(dataset, lr, epochs=25):
for epoch in range(epochs):
loss = step(...)
yield {"loss": loss} # published as it happens, kept as a series
return {"weights": fluksio.save_artifact("weights.pt")}
... and passing them to a Flow:
# myresearch/pipeline.py
from fluksio import Flow, Port
from myresearch.data import prepare
from myresearch.evaluate import evaluate
from myresearch.train import fit
train = Flow("train", nodes=[prepare, fit, evaluate],
inputs=[Port("lr", "float", initial=0.01)], outputs=["score"])
Fluksio will automatically infer the order of nodes based on the inputs and outputs you defined. When everything is set, you can launch your first run as follows:
fluksio run train --lr 0.05 --wait
Checkout our documentation for more infos.
Some other features
- Flows: typed messages between nodes, wired by name, edited on a canvas or declared in code. Every change is a commit in a git repository you own.
- Runs: an experiment and a CI-style job are the same entity. Parameters, seed, result, per-node timings, artifacts and the commit it ran at.
- Dashboards: charts and controls bound to the same messages the flows carry, with no separate metrics pipeline.
- Remote workers:
pip install fluksio-workeron the GPU box; it dials out over one websocket, so nothing there has to be reachable.
Fluksio can also be used for facility automation. Visit us on fluksio.com or go straight to our documentation.
