Singularity container platform
summary
A Linux container platform optimized for HPC that packages an entire image as a single-file SIF executable which can be signed by admins and stored on shared network filesystems; it converts Docker images on-demand into SIF, preserves the user’s home and permissions so processes run as the invoking user, and supports GPUs and MPI without a daemon. Version history: initial 2016, rewrote in Go for v3 (2018). Offers rootless execution and optional Kubernetes and remote build/commercial services.
