lucihub¶

LUCIHUB is a compact, cloud-based, distributed system for accessing anabrid's line of hybrid digital-analog machines (the LUCIDAC and REDAC product lines) remotely. Think of LUCIHUB as similar to an access and queueing system from traditional HPC or quantum computing: once provisioned with an API key, you can retrieve information on the hardware connected to the system, submit compile and run jobs, watch their status and retrieve their results, and cancel or revoke jobs that are no longer needed.

LUCIHUB integrates easily into a user's workflows. It offers both a programmatic interface that integrates seamlessly with pybrid and a CLI client for shell-based workflows. The system exposes compilation (analang ODE → circuit configuration), simulation, and execution on physical devices. All functionality is gated by an API key.

Please note that LUCIHUB is still under active development and currently only covers a basic set of functions. The API is, however, already considered stable and comes with comprehensive docs.

Agents: For users working with an AI coding agent, enable its web-fetch tool, point the agent at this documentation, and let it use your API key. Most coding agents pick up the concepts in these docs (together with the pybrid docs, which we deem a necessary read in order to use anabrid's machines efficiently) quickly and turn into a helpful analog computing buddy.

Humans: See the User Guide to install, configure, and use lucihub.
