Jupyter

The Jupyter vocabulary and related wiki pages

• Jupyter: an implementation of Web applications and notebook rendering
  • Google Colab would be another implementation of the same kind of environment
• Jupyter Application: like a regular application, but is displayed in a separate Web browser tab. The application has access to the data stored remotely on the server, and the heavy computations are also handled by the remote server
• JupyterHub: a Web server hosting Jupyter portals and kernels

JupyterLab

A Web portal with a modern interface for managing and running applications, as well as rendering notebook files of various kernels. For more details:

• JupyterLab via JupyterHub: a pre-installed JupyterLab environment, with a default Python kernel and the access to software modules
• JupyterLab from a virtual environment: a self-made environment to be launched by a Slurm job

Jupyter Notebook

An older Web portal for managing and running applications, as well as rendering notebook files of various kernels. For more details:

• Jupyter Notebook via JupyterHub: a pre-installed Jupyter Notebook environment, with a default Python kernel and the access to software modules
• Jupyter Notebook from a virtual environment: a self-made environment to be launched by a Slurm job

Kernel

The active service behind the Web interface. There are:

• Notebook kernels (e.g. Python, R, Julia)
• Application kernels (e.g. RStudio, VSCode)

Notebook

A page of executable cells of code and formatted text:

• IPython notebooks: a notebook executed by a Python kernel, and has some IPython interactive special commands that are not supported by a regular Python shell
