HPC Carpentry

[bkmgit]

Might this lesson be something that could be used in an HPC Carpentry workshop? At present the focus has been on premise HPC, increasingly it is also possible to run HPC workflows in the cloud, so this lesson would also be useful in such a workshop.

In short, yes, I think it could fit in an HPC Carpentry workshop particularly as a tool to allow you to generate, say, Singularity containers for use on HPC systems as it is generally easier to generate the container images using docker and then use singularity to convert them to image files rather than build from Singularity recipes directly. I have a plan to add an extra episode describing this so it can be incorporated in the lesson without covering Singularity in too much detail. Or, you can extend the workshop by adding the Incubator Singularity lesson as has been done in quite a few occasions.
