In recent years, container technologies, in particular, Docker, have gained immense popularity to ensure ease of application deployment. However, these technologies are designed for virtualization at the level of micro-services, and not for use in multi-user scientific and computing environments, which leads to the creation of various difficulties in integrating them with HPC computing resources.



Singularity is a container system compatible with HPC resources and designed specifically for scientific computing. It supports different architectures (x86, ARM and Power), resource managers (SLURM, Torque, SGE, Condor and others), MPI, GPU, Xeon Phi, parallel file systems. Singularity is fairly simple to set up and use. For these reasons, Singularity is rapidly gaining momentum in scientific computing communities.
