Workbench is a cloud-based tool that allows you to analyze your data in sessions based in RStudio, Jupyterlab, and other IDEs. Compute sessions launched through Workbench can come pre-loaded with proprietary software packages developed by Enable to facilitate secure and flexible communication with our database, and analysis of spatial biology data.

Code Ocean is a new development environment that Enable’s Workbench is hosted on, with massively improved set of computational capabilities (including more compute power and support for GPUs), and an emphasis on reproducibility and share-ability of computation in the concept of compute capsules.

<aside> 💡 If you’re new to Code Ocean, check out this webinar run by the Code Ocean team! If you’d like to learn about some more advanced features in Code Ocean, you can also check out this tutorial on Pipelines (more information available in their user manual)

For more detail on the fundamental concepts in Code Ocean (including more detail on the structure and functioning of a compute capsule!) please see the Code Ocean user manual.
