Benchmarking MPI Applications in Singularity Containers on Traditional HPC and Cloud Infrastructures
- Andrei Plamada (ETH Zurich)
Description
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 (HPC) community. However, the performance overhead introduced by Singularity is unclear. In this work we will analyse the overhead and the user experience on both traditional HPC and cloud infrastructures.
