Using Singularity/Apptainer on Midway Cluster

Research Computing Center

John Crerar Library - Kathleen A. Zar Room

Abstract
In computing, a container puts together in the application code, its libraries and dependencies, any configuration files, and additional system tools it is reliant on. It virtualized the operating system and run anywhere by packaging everything that you need to run an application into its own bundle of data. 
Apptainer (formally known as singularity) provides a simple, portable, fast, and secure way to run applications in isolated containers. The goal of this workshop is to provide an overview of container features to help the user decide whether containers would be useful tools for their workflow. This workshop will cover Singularity syntax, container repositories, processes for working with container images, and some HPC use cases for containers.
 
Objectives
Singularity syntax, the use of container repositories
Techniques for working with container images
Some common containerization tools
How to find and run containers built by other people
How to build their own container
How to distribute their container online
 
Prerequisites: Basic LINUX/UNIX skills. Familiarity with Slurm.
