Architecture

Antares is very versatile and can be installed on different infrastructure depending on your need: on a local machine, on a server or even on a high performance computing cluster.

In the following, the architecture of Antares on a server with and without high performance computing is detailed. It explicits also the interaction between different librairies, user scripts and the general workflow.

It is not intended as a technical view but more as a general view and its capabilities.

Technical architecture

For those interested in the underlying technical architecture, there is more information in the Technical overview page.

Base version

In the base version, the application backend and core computations are using a server that is not specifically build for high performance.

Performance version

The performance version is different notably because of the underlying high performance computing (HPC) infrastructure. Another optimization comes from the utilization of SLURM to distribute the jobs on the different nodes of the cluster.
