Description:
Singularity is a portable application stack packaging and runtime utility.
There are several methods to implement portable application stacks at
present. Among them are containers and virtual machines. When using these
solutions to package a single application (or application stack), one ends
up having to manage the entire operating system overhead (security, updates,
size/bulk, etc..) just to distribute a single application or workflow. While
virtual machines and containers have strong usage benefits, application
portability and distribution is not an efficient use of these technologies.
Singularity works on a completely different perspective. Contrary to building
and managing an entire operating system environment (for the sake of
portability and reproducibility of an application stack), Singularity works
on the opposite premise. By configuration of an application stack spec via a
configuration file, coupled with automatic dependency resolution to achieve
portability, Singularity can create minimalistic singlet "app" which can
easily be copied from system to system and run using Singularity on different
systems.
