Sylabs Readies for Native OCI Compatibility with Release of SingularityCE 3.10 – insideHPC

Reno, NV May 18, 2022 Sylabs, provider of tools and services for performance-intensive container technology, today announced that it has released SingularityCE 3.10. The newest update makes significant steps towards full OCI compatibility, giving Singularity the ability to natively run OCI-based container workflows. The release also adds functionality for resource limits using cgroups to give developers more control over the environments in which Singularity is being run.

Features of the 3.10 release include:

These new features are big steps toward better compatibility with the OCI world, which will give Singularity greater utility across the entire spectrum of workloads, said Dave Trudgian, Software Engineer at Sylabs and the lead developer within the Singularity ecosystem. The release also introduces the ability for all users to apply RAM, CPU, and other resource limits directly to individual containers. This is very useful when developing and testing scientific software on your laptop or desktop. Benchmarking tasks becomes easier, and you can avoid your workstation grinding to a halt. It also allows balancing the needs of multiple containers within a single HPC job, optimizing for overall productivity.
