Assignments are built on a scientific reproducibility engine

Make your code available, ready when you are

Silico assignments are built on a reproducibility engine for scientific code.
A Silico model is a connected set of independent code. A workflow, a pipeline, a dataflow language, a graph. Input and output.

Scientific modelling

Code as a description of scientific phenomena.

Silico's computational engine makes it easy to have a fully configured, reproducable model in code. Ready to use, modify or share.

Replicate. Reproduce.

Clone code and environments. Everything is managed for you.

Data, input and output are first-class in Silico code, as they are in science. We track what goes in, what comes out. Code ties it all together

Data, input, output

Models are structured around concepts important to scientists.

Silico is an online IDE for scientific programming
