Published, peer-reviewed, and openly licensed

The written record behind the runtime.

Every product line started as a research partnership, and every partnership leaves a paper trail. These are the white papers, open datasets, and citations the Constellation runtime has produced with the labs that use it.

Reproduce it yourself

Papers are nice. A workspace is better.

Every result on this page was produced inside the same runtime you can request access to. Bring a question; we will help you reproduce a paper or start a new one.
