Singularity Container Overview

Singularity creates a virtual environment for applications without the performance penalties associated with virtual machines. Best of both worlds: it simplifies the deployment of applications across different clusters and supercomputers by avoiding the laborious process of rehosting those applications for each distinct environment, without requiring a virtualized hardware layer..

Singularity is the container platform of choice to run deep learning and machine learning workloads with TensorFlow, Theano, scikit.

Containers solutions developed early on focused on microservices and did not play well with some types of computing that rely on processing jobs instead of services, which is a requirement in the high performance computing field.
Singularity was designed from the ground up to be optimized for the kinds of performance-demanding environments used for scientific computing.

- Targeted at emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, deep learning, machine learning, and data analytics

- Trusted by the top supercomputing centers around the world

- Compatible with data-intensive workloads that demand HPC-like resources

- Integrates with container orchestration tools, specifically Kubernetes and Mesos, and also with Microsoft’s Azure Batch tool
