Do you need to use software that isn’t installed on QUEST? Do you
want to be able to run your code on QUEST AND OTHER SYSTEMS WITHOUT
CHANGING IT FOR THE LOCAL ENVIRONMENT? Are you interested in using
containerized software from other researchers or distributing your
code to others? SINGULARITY IS A SOFTWARE CONTAINER SOLUTION DESIGNED
FOR SCIENTIFIC WORKLOADS THAT ALLOWS YOU TO RUN CODE ON ANY LINUX
COMPUTER WITHOUT NEEDING AN ADMINISTRATOR TO INSTALL IT. It offers
portability, reproducibility, and compatibility with traditional HPC
environments like QUEST, in addition to working on your local computer
or a cloud computing environment. In this WORKSHOP WE’ll go over
using SINGULARITY, finding and running pre-built container images, and
how to build your own images.INSTRUCTOR: Matthew Rich, Northwestern IT
