SUMMARY:Expanse: Singularity Containers
DESCRIPTION:Singularity is a container platform that allows you, as an HPC 
 user, to pack the applications and libraries into a single container (as a
  Singularity image). With the Singularity image, you can share, move and r
 eproduce the application you build in the container. You can also build th
 e image outside the supercomputer cluster with your laptop, which will giv
 e you complete control over choosing any major Linux distributions and sys
 tem libraries and can decide how to install the application you need. What
  is more important is, unlike other container platforms such as Docker, Si
 ngularity is dedicated to running on clusters! Therefore, once the Singula
 rity image is created, you can quickly run it on supercomputer clusters, i
 ncluding TSCC and Expanse at SDSC. You do not have to worry about how to i
 nstall all the software you need in each different cluster.\n\nIn this web
 inar, we will first show you how to build Singularity images on your local
  resource, such as your laptop. Then, we will introduce some commonly used
  repositories, e.g., Docker Hub, so you will learn where to pull other con
 tainers to create the Singularity images. For more complicated software re
 quests, we will introduce the proper workflow to build a Singularity sandb
 ox for test purposes and how to record them into a Singularity recipe so a
  final custom container can be created accordingly. Once a Singularity ima
 ge is created, it can be uploaded and run on an SDSC cluster. We will show
  three ways to run the applications within the container. Based on the clu
 ster file system structure, we will introduce the binding point technique 
 from Singularity to locate the proper storage and how to add binding point
 s into the recipe. Also, we will let you know how to make a short command 
 to replace the long Singularity run command.\n\n\nInstructor\nYuwu Chen\nC
