Resources#

Applications, software, data, and support across the ecosystem.

An ecosystem-wide index. For CryoLauncher-specific depth (examples, datasets, result formats), see the CryoLauncher Resources.

CryoStack applications.

Scientific models.

Ice-Sheet Model

ISSM Supported

The Ice-sheet and Sea-level System Model — the mature CryoLauncher path.

Ice-Sheet Model

Icepack Supported

A Python library on Firedrake. Supported in CryoLauncher for Remote and Cloud workflows.

Finite Elements

Firedrake / PETSc

The finite-element and linear-algebra libraries under Icepack.

Containers and Spack.

Containers

Tested container images Supported

CryoLauncher's Docker / OCI path uses a curated image whose stack is validated and pinned by verified digest.

ICESEE-Containers →
Package Management

ICESEE-Spack

Spack-managed environments with a first-time check-and-prepare workflow before a run is allowed.

ICESEE-Spack →
Containers

Apptainer & Docker

The container runtimes used on HPC systems and for portable builds.

Where runs execute.

Execution

Remote / HPC Supported

SSH and CryoStack Connector access to Linux servers and Slurm clusters.

Execution guide →
Execution

Cloud Supported

Bring-your-own AWS account via CloudFormation, on AWS Batch (Fargate default, EC2 Advanced). CryoLauncher's ISSM and Icepack workflows have each completed end-to-end execution on both Fargate and EC2 On-Demand (single node, CPU), including institutional MATLAB licensing through Connector/Relay for ISSM; ICESEE's Lorenz-96 example has done the same on Fargate. EC2 Spot/GPU/multi-node and ICESEE's own Cloud/ISSM workflows remain unvalidated.

Working with examples, datasets, and outputs.

Examples

Example workflows

Application examples (read-only) plus your own workspace examples, with SquareIceShelf as the recommended first ISSM run.

Examples →
My Workspace

Datasets

Upload reusable inputs, reference them from examples, and stage them with a run.

Dataset guide →
Results

Result formats & visualization

The structured result package, and deterministic Solution / Field / Timestep rendering.

Guided walkthroughs.

Recorded CryoLauncher tutorials follow complete Icepack and ISSM workflows on Cloud and Remote resources, from configuration through execution and results: CryoLauncher video tutorials. Each application's Getting Started guide covers a first run step by step.
