Installing SingularityCE on macOS with Apple Silicon, using UTM (Rocky Linux Edition)
In this post, we will cover how to install SingularityCE on a macOS machine running on Apple Silicon (M1/M2 and their variants). We will do this using the free and open-source UTM, which will allow us to run an ARM64 Linux virtual machine on macOS using native...
Cross-architecture Containers with SingularityCE & PRO
After a long period mostly standardized around the 64-bit x86 architecture, HPC systems, developer laptops, and desktops are becoming more diverse. ARM and POWER HPC systems are deployed on-premise, and ARM systems can also be constructed using cloud resources. On the...
Supporting Local Files in a Singularity Remote Build
Overview This long awaited feature allows copying local files into remote builds via the %files section of the Singularity def file the same way as you would if you were building locally with singularity build. No special command-line arguments or other user actions...
CUDA GPU Containers on Windows with WSL2
Version 2 of the Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) now supports GPU computing with CUDA. With the --nvccli functionality introduced in Singularity 3.9 you can now run GPU containers with SingularityCE or SingularityPRO on your Windows system that has a...
Introducing HPC Affinities to the Enterprise: A New Open Source Project Integrates Singularity and Slurm via Kubernetes
TL;DR: “slurm-operator,” a new open source project, allows workload containerized by Singularity to be managed in one or more Slurm clusters directly from Kubernetes; the net result is a fully converged infrastructure for hybrid use cases involving a blend of services...
Update to examples – November 9
Sylabs continues to provide example Singularity containers. Our latest installment of updates is as follows: ContikiOSContiki is an open source operating system that runs on tiny low-power microcontrollers and makes it possible to develop applications that make...
Update to examples – October 2
Here are a few more Singularity containers, that we at Sylabs have put together: CaffeCaffe is a Deep Learning framework. https://github.com/sylabs/examples/tree/master/machinelearning/caffeSingularity Definition File HorovodHorovod is a distributed-training framework...
