Algorithm Integration into Scale

This document explains the steps necessary to integrate an algorithm into the Scale system. The Scale system utilizes Docker containers to run algorithms in an isolated environment. This guide will document the steps necessary for getting an application ready for Scale integration, creating a Docker container and capturing outputs, and putting the job into Scale and into a recipe.

Here are the steps for integrating an algorithm into Scale:

• Making a Scale-compatible Algorithm
• Capturing your algorithm outputs with a Scale Results Manifest
• Encapsulating your algorithm in a Docker container
• Adding your new job into a Scale job type
• Adding your new job into a Scale recipe
• Results Manifest
