Package Renaming

We need a new name for the package. The original hpc-inference name isn't very intuitive.

We rely heavily on AI for image workflows—animal and face detection, open-ended grounding, BioCLIP embeddings, etc. These tasks require model inference on large batches of images, but a typical simple workflow suffer from I/O bottlenecks and sequential processing, which starve GPUs and waste resources.

This package solves that by parallelizing data loading and preprocessing for large-scale image datasets (folders, Parquet, HDF5). It provides a custom iterable dataset and a set of scalable workflows designed for SLURM clusters so GPUs stay fully fed.

Plan

• Discuss with Informatics Team to come up with a new package name
• Refactor codebase to reflect new package name in a separate branch
• Update documentation
• Validation
• Merge changes back to main
• Update the package dependency for other packages.
• Reinstall in local venv
