C++ HPC Tutorial

Instructions

Pre-requisites

To build the container locally, a properly configured container runtime is required. Both Docker and Singularity are supported.

Building the container requires the Docker or Singularity container descriptions. This project uses [HPC Container Maker] to generate these descriptions from a single portable container description. [HPPCM] is a Python application. Running it requires Python, and it can be installed using Python's package manager pip:

pip3 install --user hpccm

After installation, the hpccm binary should be on your path:

hpccm --version

If this fails, check that the path at which pip installs python binaries, usually PYTHONPATH is in your PATH:

# You can add it to your PATH as follows:
PATH=$PATH:$PYTHONPATH

Building container and serving Jupyter Notebooks

To build the container and start the Jupter notebook webserver locally here are the instructions for Docker and Singularity.

[HPCCM]:

Docker

./ci/run docker-build
./ci/run docker-serve

Singularity

./ci/run singularity-build
./ci/run singularity-serve
