CLAIMED Project Documentation
Welcome to CLAIMED, a framework designed to transform your code into reusable, composable components that can run across diverse execution environments with built-in scaling and fault tolerance.
Central Project Objective
- C3 Compiler: Develop a unified system that transforms arbitrary code into standardized, reusable AI and data components.
- Seamless Deployment: Enable components to run across heterogeneous environments including Kubernetes, Docker, Slurm, LSF, and local or virtual setups.
- Infrastructure Abstraction: Automate packaging, dependency resolution, and environment isolation to ensure consistent execution.
- Parallelization: Facilitate grid-computing style workload distribution across available compute resources with minimal user intervention.
- Composability: Promote reuse of data engineering, data science, and AI pipelines through a flexible but opinionated component ecosystem.
Project Roadmap
Progress to Date
- Established core architecture for reusable data engineering, data science, and AI components.
- Implemented initial component registry and composition logic for modular and reproducible pipelines.
- Integrated foundational runtime support for Docker- and Kubernetes-based execution.
- Developed early prototypes of the C3 Compiler, converting Python and Bash workflows into self-contained components.
- Set up continuous integration pipelines.
- Shifted primary focus to the C3 Compiler for seamless composition, scaling, and multi-platform execution (EU funded).
- Developed containerless execution framework to remove reliance on Docker while maintaining reproducibility (EU funded).
Future Developments
- Dependency Minimization: Streamline runtime to remove heavy infrastructure dependencies, improving portability and security.
- Scalable Execution Backends: Expand native support for Kubernetes, Docker, Slurm, LSF, and local/virtual environments.
- Enhanced Developer Experience: Simplify component creation and sharing via CLI and SDK improvements.
- Automated Testing: Integrate full test coverage into CI/CD pipelines with a target of ≥80%.
