Reproducible Experimentation Workflows With Popper: Glossary

Key Points

Introduction
  • Scientific explorations can be described in a workflow language so that they can be automatically re-executed.

  • The Github Actions (GHA) Workflow Language can be used to express workflows that are easier to re-execute since they assume they will run on a containerized environment.

  • Popper is a GHA workflow execution engine that helps users create automated and portable experimentation workflows.
