In this video from the hpc-ch forum on Cloud and Containers, Andrei Plamada from ETH Zurich presents: Benchmarking MPI Applications in Singularity Containers on Traditional HPC and Cloud Infrastructures.
Singularity is a container solution that promises to both integrate MPI applications seamlessly and run containers without privilege escalation. These benefits make Singularity a potentially good candidate for the scientific high-performance computing community. However, the performance overhead introduced by Singularity is unclear. In this work we will analyze the overhead and the user experience on both traditional HPC and cloud infrastructures.
