SUMMARY:Container Computing for HPC and Scientific Workflows
DESCRIPTION:Tutorial\nReproducibility, Scientific Workflows, System Admini
 stration, Tools, Workflows, Tutorial Reg Pass\n\nContainer Computing for H
 PC and Scientific Workflows\n\nCanon, Thomas\n\nContainer computing has ra
 pidly gained adoption in HPC and is revolutionizing the way applications a
 re developed and delivered. It offers opportunities that never existed bef
 ore for significantly improving efficiency of scientific workflows and eas
 ily moving these workflows from the laptop to the supercomputer. Tools lik
 e Docker and Shifter enable a new paradigm for scientific and technical co
 mputing. However, to fully unlock its potential, users and administrators 
 need to understand how to utilize these new approaches. \n\nThis tutorial 
 will introduce attendees to the basics of creating container images, expla
 in best practices, and cover more advanced topics such as creating images 
 to be run on HPC platforms using Shifter. The tutorial will also explain h
 ow research scientists can utilize container-based computing to accelerate
  their research and how these tools can boost the impact of their research
  by enabling better reproducibility and sharing of their scientific proces
 s without compromising security. This is an extension of the highly succes
 sful tutorial presented at SC17 that was attended by more than 100 people.
  The SC17 tutorial was very highly rated with 2.8 / 3 stars for “would rec
 ommend” and 4.1 / 5 stars for overall quality.
