RCE - Super ComputersRCE 113 ShifterShifter is a prototype implementation that NERSC is developing and experimenting with as a scalable way of deploying containers in an HPC environment. It works by converting user or staff generated images in Docker, Virtual Machines, or CHOS (another method for delivering flexible environments) to a common format. This common format then provides a tunable point to allow images to be scalably distributed on the Cray supercomputers at NERSC. The user interface to shifter enables a user to select an image from their dockerhub account and then submit jobs which run entirely within the container.2017-07-0800 min

RCE - Super ComputersRCE 106: SingularityBrock Palen and Jeff Squyres speak with Gregory Kurtzer about Singularity. Singularity allows a non-privileged user to "swap out" the operating system on the host for one they control. So if the host system is running RHEL6 but your application runs in Ubuntu, you can create an Ubuntu image, install your applications into that image, copy the image to another host, and run your application on that host in it's native Ubuntu environment!
Gregory Kurtzer has created many open source initiatives related to HPC namely: Centos Linux, Warewulf, Perceus, and most recently Singularity. Currently Gregory serves as a member of...2016-09-1500 min

RCE - Super ComputersRCE 102: SpackSpack is a package management tool designed to support multiple versions and configurations of software on a wide variety of platforms and environments. It was designed for large supercomputing centers, where many users and application teams share common installations of software on clusters with exotic architectures, using libraries that do not have a standard ABI. Spack is non-destructive: installing a new version does not break existing installations, so many configurations can coexist on the same system. https://github.com/scalability-llnl/spack
