Neurodesk
0
Neurodesk provides a containerised data analysis environment to facilitate reproducible analysis of neuroimaging data. Analysis pipelines for neuroimaging data typically rely on specific versions of packages and software, and are dependent on their native operating system. These dependencies mean that a working analysis pipeline may fail or produce different results on a new computer, or even on the same computer after a software update. Neurodesk provides a platform in which anyone, anywhere, using any computer can reproduce your original research findings given the original data and analysis code.

WRF in the Public Cloud
0
CAC summer student employee Jeff Lantz describes his experiences in running the WRF weather forecasting application in the public cloud. He compares the major cloud providers and some container-based deployment technologies that are available on each, with a particular emphasis on Docker and Kubernetes. Since WRF is a computationally intensive numerical simulation, Jeff had to pay special attention to certain HPC characteristics of the code, such as the need to launch multiple communicating MPI processes on one or more cloud instances, and the need to set up an NFS file server to satisfy I/O requirements.
Containerization Explained
0
Containerization is a software development method in which applications are packaged into standard units for development, shipment, and deployment.
Docker Container Library
0
The Docker container library, commonly known as Docker Hub, is a vast repository that hosts a multitude of pre-configured container images, streamlining the deployment process. It can drastically speed up a workflow, and gives you a consistent starting point each time. Check it out, they might have exactly what you are looking for!
ACES: Charliecloud Containers for Scientific Workflows (Tutorial)
0
This tutorial introduces the use of Containers using the Charliecloud software suite. This tutorial will provide participants with background and hands-on experience to use basic Charliecloud containers for HPC applications. We discuss what containers are, why they matter for HPC, and how they work. We'll give an overview of Charliecloud, the unprivileged container solution from Los Alamos National Laboratory's HPC Division. Students will learn how to build toy containers and containerize real HPC applications, and then run them on a cluster. Exercises are demonstrated using the ACES cluster, a composable accelerator testbed at Texas A&M University. Students with an allocation on the ACES cluster can follow along with the ACES-specific exercises.
