cronus is a Python tool designed to facilitate Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and Nested Sampling (NS) in large supercomputing clusters.

It relies on the powerful MCMC sampler zeus to do the heavy-lifting and incorporates various MPI features along with a suite of automated Convergence Diagnostics.

cronus is designed to be used via the terminal using parameter files and it is particularly suited for Astrophysical and Cosmological applications.
