Example Gallery: Building Blocks

This is a gallery of Tesseract examples that end at the build stage of the Tesseract lifecycle, and that can act as starting points to define and build your own Tesseracts.

You can also find these Tesseracts in the examples directory of the code repository.

Important

Beyond the Build: The real magic happens long after building a Tesseract. For some example applications that use Tesseracts in workflows, check out the Demos & Tutorials and Community Showcase.

HelloWorld

A simple “hello world” Tesseract.

VectorAdd

Tesseract performing vector addition. Highlighting simple array operations and how to use the Tesseract Python SDK.

building-blocks/vectoradd.html

Univariate

A Tesseract that wraps the univariate Rosenbrock function, which is a common test problem for optimization algorithms.

building-blocks/univariate.html

Fortran Integration

Wrapping a Fortran heat equation solver. Demonstrates subprocess-based integration for legacy compiled code.

building-blocks/fortran.html

MATLAB Integration

Wrapping a MATLAB spring-mass-damper ODE solver. Demonstrates using the official MathWorks Docker image to run MATLAB code via matlab -batch.

Package Data

A guide on including local files into a built Tesseract.

Pyvista on ARM64

A guide showcasing how to use custom build steps to install pyvista within an ARM64 Tesseract.

Local Dependencies

A guide on installing local Python packages into a Tesseract.

Data Loader

Tesseract that loads in data samples from a folder without loading them into memory.

building-blocks/dataloader.html

Input/Output Path References

Tesseract that passes files and directories through the input/output mounts instead of serializing their contents into the request payload. Useful when inputs or outputs are large on disk, or consist of many (or a variable number of) files.

Finite Difference Gradients

Make any Tesseract differentiable without implementing analytical gradients. Useful for prototyping and complex nested schemas. (Experimental)

building-blocks/finitediff.html

Gradient Endpoint Derivation Fallbacks

Derive missing gradient endpoints (JVP, VJP, Jacobian) from ones you have already implemented. (Experimental)
