This page is to document the steps involved in enabling the CyberShake codebase to run in a container environment.

Selection of Containers
The available HPC Containers at the time of selection were Singularity, Charlie Cloud, and Shifter. Between the 3 of these container technologies, Singularity was widely adapted and had more open source tools. Because of this wide adaptation the module already existed in the Frontera system. Singularity has built-in support for different MPI libraries from OpenMPI, MPICH, IntelMPI to name a few. Shifter is highly reliant on MPICH ABI, which would require site-specific MPI libraries to be copied to the container at run time.
