Bertini Software v.1.5 Umbrella Specification

Umbrella is a tool for specifying and materializing comprehensive execution environments, from the hardware all the way up to software and data. A user simply invokes Umbrella with the desired task, and Umbrella parses the specification, determines the minimum mechanism necessary to run the task, downloads missing dependencies, and executes the application through the available minimal mechanism, which may be direct execution, a system container (Parrot, Docker, chroot), a local virtual machine (i.e., VMware), or submission to a cloud environment (i.e., Amazon EC2) or grid environment (i.e., HTCondor).\u000a\u000aThis is a specification developed specifically to run with Bertini Software version 1.5, which is also available from CurateND.

Umbrella是一款旨在全面构建执行环境的工具，其范围涵盖从硬件至软件及数据的各个层面。用户仅需调用Umbrella并指定所需任务，Umbrella便会解析该规格说明，确定执行任务所需的最小机制，下载缺失的依赖项，并通过可用的最小机制执行应用程序。这些机制可能包括直接执行、系统容器（如Parrot、Docker、chroot）、本地虚拟机（例如VMware）或提交至云环境（例如Amazon EC2）或网格环境（例如HTCondor）。此外，该规格说明是专为与Bertini Software版本1.5协同运行而开发的，该软件亦可通过CurateND获取。
