Examples:
$ singularity help <command> [<subcommand>]
$ singularity help build
$ singularity help instance start
Examples
Build a TensorFlow container with Singularity and execute a Python command inside the container:
# request interactive node with GPUs
$ srun --nodes=1 --exclusive --gres=gpu:2 --pty bash
# create workspace and navigate into it
$ WORKSPACE=`ws_allocate tensorflow 3`
$ cd $WORKSPACE
# build container
$ singularity build tensorflow-20.11-tf2-py3.sif docker://nvcr.io/nvidia/tensorflow:20.11-tf2-py3
# execute Python command
$ singularity exec --nv tensorflow-20.11-tf2-py3.sif python -c 'import tensorflow as tf; \
print("Num GPUs Available: ",len(tf.config.experimental.list_physical_devices("GPU")))'
Use the NGC environment modules provided on JUSTUS 2:
$ srun --nodes=1 --exclusive --gres=gpu:2 --pty bash $ WORKSPACE=`ws_allocate npc 3` $ cd $WORKSPACE $ export NGC_IMAGE_DIR=$(pwd)
$ module load ngc/.numlib
$ module load 20.12-tf2-py3
$ python3
>>> import tensorflow as tf
>>> print("Num GPUs Available:",len(tf.config.experimental.list_physical_devices("GPU")))
>>> quit()
$ module unload 20.12-tf2-py3
$ module unload ngc/.numlib
$ srun --nodes=1 --exclusive --gres=gpu:2 --pty bash $ WORKSPACE=`ws_allocate lammps 3` $ cd $WORKSPACE $ export NGC_IMAGE_DIR=$(pwd) $ module load ngc/.chem $ module load 29Oct2020 $ wget https://lammps.sandia.gov/inputs/in.lj.txt $ export SINGULARITY_BINDPATH=$(pwd) $ module unload 29Oct2020 $ module unload ngc/.chem
Currently, module load ngc/.numlib for numeric libraries and module load ngc/.chem for chemistry programs can be selected.
Run a GROMACS container with Singularity as batch job:
$ WORKSPACE=`ws_allocate gromacs 3` # allocate workspace $ cd $WORKSPACE # change to workspace $ singularity pull gromacs-2020_2.sif docker://nvcr.io/hpc/gromacs:2020.2 # pull container from NGC $ cp -r /opt/bwhpc/common/chem/ngc/gromacs/ ./bwhpc-examples/ # copy example to workspace $ cd ./bwhpc-examples # change to example directory $ sbatch gromacs-2020.2_gpu.slurm # submit job $ squeue # obtain JOBID $ scontrol show job <JOBID> # check state of job
