\begin{minipage}{.78\textwidth}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Shifts the problem
\item Containers provide isolated distributable computational environments
\item Overkill for reproducible bioinformatics: e.g., don't need virtualised networking (or even networks at all!)

\frametitle{BioNix contributions}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Builds on Nix, a robust functional package manager
\item Manages both software, data, and workflows within the one system
\item Implicitly specifies its entire computational environment
\item Purely functional domain-specific language, simplifying specifying workflows
to function composition
\item Typing to reduce errors~\autocite{Bed2019}
\end{enumerate}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{What is Nix?}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Simple configuration language (like JSON + functions)
\item Build engine that \emph{realises} \emph{derivations}
\begin{itemize}
\item resumption
\item error handling
\item logging
\item parallelisation
\end{itemize}
\item Derivations are complete descriptions for producing build products: all inputs and a build recipe
\item Controlled \emph{side effects}\footnote{stuff not captured by the derivation}: none allowed during a build
\item Output location unique and determined by hashing the derivation: i.e., hash based version management
\end{enumerate}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{What is BioNix?}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Thin wrapper on Nix
\item Models \emph{stages}\footnote{the execution of one or more executables on one or more input files, producing one or more output files.} as functions (\Verb|config → inputs → drv|)
\item Library of bioinformatics tools (BWA, samtools, etc) organised into a tree, e.g.,
\begin{itemize}
\item \Verb|bionix.bwa.align|
\item \Verb|bionix.samtools.sort|
\end{itemize}
\item Functions for HPC execution
\end{enumerate}

\begin{overprint}
\onslide<1>\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{slurm}
\onslide<2>\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{cluster}
\end{overprint}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{.68\textwidth}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Easy implementation due to derivation overloading pattern from Nix
\item Call \Verb|(bionix.slurm \{ ... \}).samtools.sort| instead of \Verb|bionix.samtools.sort|
\onslide<2>\item Easy to shift previous example to HPC execution
\end{enumerate}
\end{minipage}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Real-world usage at WEHI}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Stafford Fox Rare Cancer Project
\item $\geq100$ WGS/WES samples totalling 20 TiB of primary data
\item SNV calling, neoantigen prediction, structural variants, copy number, mutational signatures, and report generation
\item CI ensures reports are always up to date and consistent across the cohort
\item Processed at Pawsey (Slurm) and WEHI (PBS \& Slurm)
\end{enumerate}
