Welcome to the ComputeCanada_Pipeline wiki!

We are developing a pipeline between the Digital Research Alliance of Canada (formerly Compute Canada) supercomputers and user’s machine to make the computationally intensive DeepLabCut more accessible by automatizing model training, video analysis, and tracking data retrieval.

To achieve this, our pipeline uses two main packages:

• Globus Python Software Development Kit (SDK) to transfer files from the user's machine to Compute Canada cluster
• Paramiko library to ensure SSH communication with the cluster, and run a job to train a DeepLabCut model and analyze video
