Reproducible Environments for Reproducible Results
By Dana Walker, Bihan Zhang

Trustworthy results require reproducibility. Publishing code is necessary but not sufficient for complete reproducibility. Complex programs often depend on external code. This talk will introduce you to several ways to manage your software dependencies and data to pass reproducible software environments to peer-reviewers.

Saturday 10:30 a.m.–11 a.m. in Barbie Tootle

  • Why environmental reproducibility is important
  • Overview of best practices for environmental reproducibility (~3-4 min per topic)
    • Dependency Management
      • pip freeze > requirements.txt
      • Pipfile.lock
    • Containerization
    • Automated Provisioning
    • Environment management
      • Pulpproject
