Glossary
- Computer platform
-
The computer operating system and instruction set architecture. Example:
Linux x86 refers to the Linux ecosystem of operating systems on a
machine with an x86-64 instruction set architecture. For a conda package
this would be expressed as
linux-64. - Computational reproducibility
- Methods that allow for a program to create a full hash level reproduction of a computational software environment for a given computer platform.
- Pixi
- A package and software environment management tool that allows for fully reproducible multi-platform software environments. Pixi currently supports management of conda packages from conda package indexes (e.g. conda-forge, S3 buckets) and Python packages from Python package indexes (e.g. PyPI).
