METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING SOFTWARE CONTAINERS SUPPORTING EXECUTABLE CODE CREATED FROM COMPUTATIONAL ALGORITHMS DESCRIBED IN PRINTED PUBLICATIONS

摘要

A system and method for providing a software container supporting executable code created from a textual description of a computational algorithm described in a printed publication in electronic form. The method includes: generating a dependency tree based on the textual description of the computational algorithm, wherein the dependency tree indicates a plurality of functions and respective dependencies from at least one library; determining, based on the dependency tree, a minimal set of functions to be included in the software container; creating a container descriptor based on the minimal set of functions, wherein the container descriptor lists the minimal set of functions and the respective dependencies of the minimal set of functions; generating the software container based on the container descriptor; and executing the at least one software container in a computing environment, wherein the computing environment includes computing resources configured to support execution of the software container.
