Topic: "Advanced Container Use on Clusters and Personal Computers"

Speaker: Paul Preney, SHARCNET

 

--- 

This presentation continues exploring the earlier presentations, "Leveraging the power of Linux on Windows with WSL" and "Parallel Computing: Start from Your Own Computer" and will discuss in detail:

   * how to run multiple Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) instances under Windows,

   * how to import other Linux containers into WSL on your computer,

   * how to export a WSL container and use such with Apptainer on such on Digital Research Alliance of Canada's clusters (which all run Linux and have Apptainer installed on them),

   * various aspects and issues of doing the above in practice, and,

   * the benefits and limitations of using one's own (Windows) computer in this way.

(Using MacOS to do the same will not be discussed in this talk.)

The Compute Ontario Colloquia are weekly Zoom presentations on Advanced Research Computing, High Performance Computing, Research Data Management, and Research Software topics, delivered by staff from three Compute Ontario consortia (CAC, SciNet, SHARCNET) and guest speakers. The series began January 2023 and superseded similar series previously delivered by individual consortia (e.g. General Interest Seminars by SHARCNET or User Group Meeting TechTalks by SciNet). The colloquia are one hour long and include time for questions. No registration is required. Presentations are usually recorded and uploaded to the hosting consortium video channel (colloquia hosted by SHARCNET go to our youtube channel).
