Introduction to Singularity containers

This is a 1-day course.

Instructor: Grigory Shamov (Univ. Of Manitoba / WestGrid)

Target audience: general

Level: beginner

Software: All attendees will need a remote secure shell (SSH) client installed on their computer in order to participate in the course exercises. On Windows we recommend the free Home Edition of MobaXterm. On Mac and Linux computers SSH is usually pre-installed (try typing ssh in a terminal to make sure it is there).

You can find the PDF slides here, and a gzipped tar file containing all commands for each exercise here.

You will be submitting jobs to the reservations on Cedar:
