Platform Examples

Every box is built natively for one exact target. These snippets show target declarations and shell syntax; they do not claim that a particular scroll or scientific workload has been validated. Replace the example <boxId>/<targetId> references and use the exact pixiVersion pinned by each scroll.

"target": { "platform": "macos", "arch": "aarch64", "accelerator": "cpu" }

scrollcase doctor --scroll my-box/macos-aarch64-cpu
scrollcase lock my-box/macos-aarch64-cpu
scrollcase audit my-box/macos-aarch64-cpu
scrollcase build my-box/macos-aarch64-cpu

The interpreter is venv/bin/python; the target ID is macos-aarch64-cpu.

"target": { "platform": "linux", "arch": "x86_64", "accelerator": "cpu" }

scrollcase doctor --scroll my-box/linux-x86_64-cpu
scrollcase lock my-box/linux-x86_64-cpu
scrollcase audit my-box/linux-x86_64-cpu
scrollcase build my-box/linux-x86_64-cpu

The interpreter is venv/bin/python; the target ID is linux-x86_64-cpu.

"target": {
  "platform": "linux",
  "arch": "x86_64",
  "accelerator": "cuda",
  "cudaVersion": "12.4"
}

scrollcase doctor --scroll my-box/linux-x86_64-cuda12.4
scrollcase lock my-box/linux-x86_64-cuda12.4
scrollcase audit my-box/linux-x86_64-cuda12.4
scrollcase build my-box/linux-x86_64-cuda12.4

12.4 is an example ABI. The generic target suffix is cuda<major.minor>. A successful native build proves packaging and declared gates, not scientific parity with another accelerator.

"target": { "platform": "windows", "arch": "x86_64", "accelerator": "cpu" }

scrollcase doctor --scroll my-box/windows-x86_64-cpu
scrollcase lock my-box/windows-x86_64-cpu
scrollcase audit my-box/windows-x86_64-cpu
scrollcase build my-box/windows-x86_64-cpu

The interpreter is venv/python.exe; the target ID is windows-x86_64-cpu.

"target": {
  "platform": "windows",
  "arch": "x86_64",
  "accelerator": "cuda",
  "cudaVersion": "12.4"
}

scrollcase doctor --scroll my-box/windows-x86_64-cuda12.4
scrollcase lock my-box/windows-x86_64-cuda12.4
scrollcase audit my-box/windows-x86_64-cuda12.4
scrollcase build my-box/windows-x86_64-cuda12.4

Windows CUDA is defined by the target contract and is buildable on a matching native host. This example is not a claim that a specific box, GPU, driver, or scientific workload is supported.

verify --self-test also requires the matching native OS and architecture. CPU and CUDA boxes share neither identity nor implied compatibility; build and verify each target independently.
