The single entry point to run a CGF application is the Launcher. It takes multiple arguments - most importantly the application description .app.json file.

The launcher will start all the processes defined in the application description. Most commonly these include:

• The stm_master process performing the scheduling
• One or multiple LoaderLite processes - each being a STM client - provide the runtime environment for the CGF nodes

Once all processes are running, STM takes over and starts scheduling the calls of node passes.
