7. DOCKER COMPATIBILITY WITH SINGULARITY FOR HPC
2
“NVIDIA GPU Cloud (NGC) offers a container registry of
Docker images with over 35 HPC, HPC visualization, deep
learning, and data analytics containers optimized for
GPUs and delivering accelerated performance (figure 3).
The registry includes some of the most popular
applications including GROMACS, NAMD, ParaView, VMD,
and TensorFlow.
The HPC application containers get updated for the latest
revisions and the deep learning framework containers
receive monthly updates to deliver maximum
performance on NVIDIA GPUs. Let’s take a look at these
Docker-based containers and show how you can run the
HPC containers in Singularity…”

“Without a doubt, nothing stands to impact the high
performance computing (HPC) industry’s future more than
artificial intelligence (AI). HPC and AI complement each
other. The early adopters of AI took the best-known
methods from the HPC community. For the HPC
community, AI is a new tool that can help business leaders
get more mileage from all the data they are collecting. AI
is a needle mover for innovating faster on solutions,
improving customer loyalty, and achieving cost savings or
operational excellence that directly benefits the bottom
line…”
9. CONTAINERS MADE EASY WITH HPC CONTAINER MAKER
“Containers simplify application deployment by
packaging the application and its dependencies to run on
various systems, from on-prem to the cloud. The HPC
application containers available on NVIDIA GPU Cloud
(NGC) dramatically improve ease of application
deployment while delivering optimized performance.
HPC Container Maker (HPCCM) is an open-source project
that addresses the challenges of creating HPC
application containers…”

“Wherever there’s AI, Nvidia’s there. Wherever
there’s a car trying to drive itself, Nvidia’s there.
Wherever there’s a robot stacking boxes from a
warehouse conveyer belt, Nvidia’s there. Wherever
there’s a machine learning bet sizing application
for Wall Street traders, Nvidia’s there. Where
there’s a start-up modeling how infection spreads
in hospitals, Nvidia’s there. And where there’s one
of the big server vendors integrating a raft of
technologies to accelerate AI initiatives, Nvidia’s
there, too…”
