The DUCKS controller is one of the main components of DUCKS, with following tasks:
- explode simulation study config files to unique and single simulations
- managing list of these simulations and their state
- managing list of JiST servers
- distribute simulation jobs to JiST servers
- collect, preprocess and save simulation results, e.g. to database server

Important note

During development, it is not necessary to bother with the DUCKS Controller at all. When using distinct simulation parameters (without multi-values), you can use ducks.driver.Main directly, without the DUCKS Controller engine. It does not instantiate any of the simulation queues, remote JiST servers or database connections, but still is able to set up the simulation using the DUCKS generic driver.
