The DIVE architecture. The DIVE kernel acts as both a software library and a runtime environment. In both cases, DIVE can import and export data and functionality from a variety of sources. Pipeline plugins use DIVE primarily as a software library, taking advantage of DIVE’s data handling capabilities while DIVE tools are applications that instantiate and launch a DIVE pipeline for a specific analysis task. DIVE provides software support for multiple interface paradigms.
