Steps of an automated pipeline in CloVR. A pipeline executing on the local client VM is comprised of seven primary steps. The primary API functions invoked during each step are shown with the prefix 'vp-'. For cloud-based execution, a worker pipeline is executed remotely on one or more CloVR VM instances on the cloud. The local client VM monitors the worker pipeline and VM instances on the cloud. Upon pipeline completion, output data is automatically downloaded to the local VM for viewing or post processing.
