Upcoming Biowulf class: Creating and running software containers with Singularity
Date: 12 July 2018 12:07:15
From: "Elghraoui, Afif [C]"
Creating and running software containers with Singularity
Date & Time: Thu July 26, 2018, 9 am - 12 noon
Location: NIH Library Training Room, Bldg 10
Instructor: Afif Elghraoui (NIH HPC staff)
Containers give you the freedom to install custom software in a
portable virtual environment. This environment can be copied and
shared, fostering collaboration and reproducibility in bioinformatics
analyses.
In this workshop, you will use Singularity to create and run containers.
You will learn how to install Singularity on your Linux system, create
containers with your choice of Linux distribution and software, and use
Singularity to run containerized applications, especially on the NIH
Biowulf cluster.
please note: for this workshop, access to a Linux environment with the
ability to execute commands as the *root user* is necessary. A Linux
laptop or virtual machine (VM) should fulfill this requirement. Access
to temporary cloud VMs will be provided for attendees who do not have a
suitable system of their own.
* This class is hands-on.
* Registration is required and HPC users will
get priority when enrolling.
