Platform for model processing, integration, and data collaboration.
Container

Containerfile
A script containing instructions to build a container image.
Container Image
A container image is a template for instantiating software containers.

Job

Jobflow
A graphical or scripted definition of the dependencies and sequencing that determines in which order jobs are run.
Model
A research model. A model can be captured as a monolithic routine run as a job. Alternatively, a model can be divided into stages captured as routines that are run as jobs sequenced by a jobflow.
Module
Processing code/software providing functionality subservient to modeling or model integration. A module is captured in a routine and run as a job.
Routine
A specification of code/software to process on the Accelerator together with a declaration of the software stack on top of which to run it.
Stack
The stack of software on top of which code or binaries run: operating system, libraries, language runtime, and packages.
