NHR@FAU’s next HPC Café will take place tomorrow on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. CEST as a hybrid event, provided by our AI Support Team. As always, there will be an interesting talk and plenty of time to get in touch with other HPC and AI enthusiasts. We invite you to come to NHR@FAU to enjoy coffee, cake, and computing.
The event starts at 4:00 p.m. CEST with an open coffee chat at the RRZE in Erlangen. The presentation is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.
Topic: Using containers on the HPC systems at NHR@FAU
Speaker: AI Support Team, NHR@FAU
Location: seminar room 02.049 (RRZE, Martensstraße 1, 91058 Erlangen)
Zoom: https://go-nhr.de/hpc-cafe
Abstract:
The end of support for Python and Conda snake pits is near! It’s time to containerize your code. With containers, everything is neatly sealed for reproducibility and minimal drama. In this HPC Café session we will dive into Apptainer on our HPC systems in a hands-on, approachable way. We’ll show you how to create and download containers, apply best practices for deployment, and integrate these containers with Slurm—both for batch jobs and interactive runs. You’ll also learn how to encapsulate your Conda environment within a container, giving your research projects greater portability and reproducibility. Finally, we’ll cover key troubleshooting tips and optimizations, ensuring you walk away with practical, ready-to-use containerization recipes for your HPC project.
