To learn about container-in-hpc in the near term, you should consider joining us at ISC in Hamburg (5/29 -> 6/2). It's going to be a great oppertunity to meet and dicuss. In particular, keep the following dates marked in your calendar.

BoF¶

5/30: 'Container in HPC'¶

This BoF (agenda link) is going to bring everyone up to speed with the current state of containers with an overview of the art-of-possible. Our goal is to provide an onramp for two types of HPC personas: 1. traditional HPC environments using a HPC scheduler (like SLURM) and a batch simulation workload (GROMACS, OpenFOAM, ...), 1. Research workflows (AI/ML, Bioinformatics, Data science) without a big system operations support who might be born in the cloud.

We'll show what those groups have in common (e.g. build an image that is able to run on as many sites as possible, pick the right binary for the job) and where they differ (tightly couple workloads using MPI, data management, shared environments). more info

Community Event¶

5/31: 'Friends of Container Boat Trip'¶

To get the community to connect again after such a long time without the oppertunity to meet, we're going to host a community event on 5/31. more info

Workshops¶

6/2: HPCW22¶

The HPCW will disect the landscape of container-in-HPC into segments to provide guidance on what to focus on and what problems and solutions are already present. more info

Poster Sessions¶

5/31: GROMACS in the Cloud¶

Running 80k (single node) simulations is no small task and this poster examins how to use Spack and Batch scheduling to distribute the execution accross the globe. more info
