Description
Apptainer/Singularity is an application containerization solution for High-Performance Computing (HPC). The goal of Apptainer is to allow for "mobility of computing": an application containerized on one Linux system should be able to run on another system, as it is, and without the need to reconcile software dependencies and Linux version differences between the source and target systems.
