This class manages your runtime components in terms of order and caching.

Usually, you have a few components, each calculating something and passing some outputs to be used in the next components. Further, when you change a single component, you have to re-run everything, which can take some time.

We construct the pipeline in a way that every function running can use any other output, and can supply its output to all other components.

To solve the re-running problem, every output from a step in the pipeline is cached, and if a file exists, it only needs to read the file and not re-run the function.

The repository Chimera for example, uses the pipeline to pre-process, model, and post-process deep-learning problems which take hours to run. Without any manual caching, saving of models, etc, they can now load any step of their model under a second.

Output example of the pipeline first run:
