Everest
Everest is a ‘universal knowledge engine’ that turns modellers into explorers and enables science at the speed of thought.
Tl;dr - in practice, it’s a toolkit for building and querying models - of any kind, at scale.
It is a framework, and a set of interoperable tools within that framework, that endeavours to encompass the full spread of activities essential to all forms of knowledge work, bringing together in one package everything from ideation to experimentation; model building and running; data analysis and visualisation; publication, dissemination, and collaboration.
Core features¶
- Everything is an object - hard, tangible, permanent
- Objects can contain spaces which may be limitless
- Data operations are converted into spatial operations - defining the ‘landscape’ of a system.
- Complex workflows can be articulated in full before any computation is done
Everest is NOT¶
- A computational numerical modelling code (like Underworld or PETSC)
- A cloud computing service (like Kubernetes or Google CoLabs)
- A data science package (like R or MatLab)
Does it work?¶
Well, millions of models don’t lie! See our projects to learn how Everest is reshaping our understanding of far-off planets, and how it became the predictive backbone of Victoria’s COVID-19 response. Learn more about our work.
