Singularity
Singularity is container software written at Lawrence Berkeley Labs.
If you need a specialized computing environment, you can use a Singularity container. Your Singularity container will execute on compute nodes and can use other HPC resources, including particular filesystems. Within your container you can use a different Unix operating system and any software you need. You can set up your Singularity container without any intervention from IT staff.
