Using Containers on HPC Resources

Containers are revolutionizing the way scientific software is run on High-Performance Computing (HPC) platforms by providing a ÔvirtualÕ OS that simplifies application installation and portability. This session will guide you through the process of building and utilizing containers to enhance your research workflows on HPC systems. The workshop will focus on UCLAÕs Hoffman2 cluster, which supports containerized applications through Apptainer. YouÕll learn to deploy and run scientific software such as NWChem, R, RStudio, Python, Jupyter, and more within containers.
