Containerization in HPC Environments

About the talk: 

The webinar on basic containerisation for HPC environments provides an overview of key tools and techniques. It covers how to use Singularity/Apptainer containers from various aspects, such as parallelisation with MPI and CUDA for GPU-accelerated workloads and including management and environment systems such as Conda for managing smaller, lightweight environments. The session emphasises practical strategies to optimise HPC workflows with containerised solutions.
