Built on a hypervisor of the host operating system, a virtual machine (VM) provides an isolated virtual environment that allows for the execution of guest operating systems and applications. However, VMs often demand substantial computing resources to run these systems and programs. In recent years, an advanced technique known as containerization has emerged as an...

Building on the concepts introduced in Using Containers on HPC Resources, this session will focus on creating custom containers designed to run seamlessly on HPC platforms. Participants will learn how to build containers using Docker/Podman and Apptainer/Singularity, with practical examples on UCLAÕs Hoffman2 cluster. Whether you want to create portable, reproducible environments for your research...
