The Brane Wiki

Welcome to the Brane wiki!

This site is split into three sub-sites, each with its own purpose:

  • Brane: The User Guide is aimed at the users of the framework. It documents how to setup a framework as an system administrator, how to write packages on BraneScript or Bakery as a software engineer and how to write workflows as a scientist. Basically, if you are using Brane as a finalized program, this is the documentation for you.
  • Brane: A Specification is the book for those who are intending to develop the framework or who want to know how it works. It documents the framework's internal workings, as well as provides a specification for how services communicate so they may be replaced by custom software running on the individual domains (hence it being a framework). In general, if you will be doing development about some part of the framework, you should start here.
  • Brane Code Documentation is the documentation for the code itself. It's not really meant to be read from top to bottom, like the other books, but rather as a reference during development on existing code.

    drawing Note that the documentation is generated specifically for a Linux x86/64 build. If you are developing or running Brane on a non-Linux or non-x86_64 machine, it might make sense to generate the documentation yourself instead; check cargo doc.

You can click on any of the links here or in the sidebar (to the left) to go to the resource of your choosing.
