A virtual machine is an isolated operating system environment running on top of the host computer’s original operating system. This hypervisor-based technology enables us to run one or multiple operating systems on the same host computer (e.g. a Linux virtual machine on top of a Windows host computer). However, a virtual machine can be resource-heavy...
This workshop is a follow-up to a previous workshop on “Using Containers on HPC Resources” (https://github.com/ucla/hpc_workshops). This workshop will focus on creating containers to be ran on HPC resources. We will go over building containers using Docker/podman and Apptainer/Singularity. We will also use Hoffman2 to run our newly built containers. To follow along, users will...
This workshop will go over how to use container on HPC resources. Containers are a great way to run scientific software on various HPC platforms. Users can create a ‘virtual’ OS to easily install any application and transfer it to any system with container software. This workshop will cover how to build and use containers...
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...
