Jupyter
- 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
