User directed partial graph execution

A computer system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer-readable media having stored thereon instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to configure the computer system to perform a partial execution of an executable graph by executing a user selected portion of a graph, including instructions that are executable to configure the computer system to perform at least the following:
• receive user input selecting a sub-portion of the executable graph while not selecting other portions of the executable graph, the executable graph comprising executable modules;
• filtering out modules that should not be run in the partial execution of the executable graph from the executable graph by filtering out modules not selected by the user input;
• determine that upstream data is needed from upstream modules in the executable graph, the upstream modules included in the filtered out modules, to execute the sub-portion of the executable graph;
• obtaining the upstream data from elsewhere than the upstream modules, wherein obtaining the upstream data from elsewhere comprises prompting the user to enter data values or to accept suggested data values;
• and
• execute the user selected sub-portion of the executable graph, without executing the filtered out modules, as a result of obtaining the upstream data from elsewhere than the upstream modules.
