This launch is a major step toward tackling those problems by making it possible to deploy Wolfram technology without a kernel. In particular, the Wolfram Langauge requires a Mathematica kernel, which is gigantic and (relatively) slow and (very) expensive, and the Wolfram Knowledgebase more or less requires the Wolfram Language and thus inherits those limitations. Wolfram's technology stack is based on the "Wolfram Language" and the "Wolfram Knowledgebase" (curated data), and although both are very powerful they have not been competitive for commercial application deployment for a variety of reasons. We will of course have to wait and see, but it seems pretty clear to me what's going on. I imagine students and academics will not receive any discounted options for the non-"Mathematica" products. Except for Mathematica, these licenses will require renewal. You will be able to login to the Cloud through MMA, but what you do there is subject to Cloud licensing.Īll of these are separate products subject to separate licenses. Mathematica will be much the same most importantly, you run your own kernels. I assume Mathematica licenses will have more computing/storage resources and fewer deployment options. The key difference will be licensing: few details have emerged, but clearly they are going to use the license as a way to herd commercial developers into the Programming Cloud.
Mathematica Online is similar to the Programming Cloud in that you use a kernel through a web browser. In particular, it has additional interfacing features (not available in Mathematica) to simplify writing desktop applications that interact with the Wolfram Cloud. It is not intended for serious numerical computing.ĭesktop is an IDE for the Programming Cloud. This targets commercial developers, with a huge emphasis on tapping into the KB. The Programming Cloud lets you write web applications in WL hosted on their infrastructure. It runs on the Wolfram Language (WL) and the Wolfram Knowledgebase (KB). Wolfram Knowledgebase Curated computable knowledge powering Wolfram|Alpha.The Wolfram Cloud is envisioned as the precursor to the omniscient central computer often depicted in science fiction.
Wolfram Universal Deployment System Instant deployment across cloud, desktop, mobile, and more. Wolfram Data Framework Semantic framework for real-world data.
