Introduction to Software Deployment in Virtualized Research Environments
On 04.12.2017 the Rechenzentrum of the University of Freiburg is hosting an introductory workshop on creation, usage, maintenance and sharing of Virtual Research Environments (VRE). The focus is on Neuroscience-related software (e.g. NEST, Neuron, Tensorflow, Python) but the methods and examples presented can be applied to other scientific fields as well.

Target audience: Scientists (students, PhD students, Postdocs) who need well-defined software environments on the bwForCluster NEMO or in the bwCloud that they can control themselves.
Principal goals of the workshop:
- Overall: Learn how to create, use and maintain, and share virtual research environments (VRE) on NEMO or bwCloud.
- Clarify distinction between the ability to *distribute/reconstruct* a VRE (ViCE) versus the ability to reference/archive/re-execute of VRE (CiTAR)
- Usage of "conda" for software package management in user space (i.e. no admin required)
- Create and run singularity containers on HPC for maximum independence from given HPC node operating system and software environment
- Handle specific or conflicting Python requirements in separate VREs
- Share VRE images or VRE recipes between users
RSVP not required, but appreciated for planning purposes. If you are interested in attending or have any questions, please send an email to bernd.wiebelt@rz.uni-freiburg.de
