abstract: Implements a task queue system for asynchronous parallel computing using
  'PostgreSQL' <https://www.postgresql.org/> as a backend. Designed for embarrassingly
  parallel problems where tasks do not communicate with each other. Dynamically distributes
  tasks to workers, handles uneven load balancing, and allows new workers to join
  at any time. Particularly useful for running large numbers of independent tasks
  on high-performance computing (HPC) clusters with 'SLURM' <https://slurm.schedmd.com/>
  job schedulers.
