Hands-on sessions on using Singularity in HPC
Best in class expert speakers who have extensive knowledge of Singularity, HPC and Cloud.
Principal Developer of Singularity, CEO of SingularityWare, LLC (USA)
Gregory Kurtzer is the CEO of SingularityWare, LLC. as well as a senior architect to RStor and a scientific computing advisor to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (DOE). He currently serves as a member of the OpenHPC technical steering committee as well as being known throughout the industry for creating various open source initiates such as Centos Linux, Warewulf, Perceus, and most recently the container system, Singularity.
Computer Scientist Systems Integration group, Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CH)
Lucas Benedicic joined the Swiss National Supercomputer Center (CSCS) in 2014. Currently a member of the Systems Integration group, he leads the development and hardening of software-defined platforms deployed on heterogenous HPC systems and hybrid architectures. This effort comprises technologies enabling container runtimes, interactive HPC, and web-oriented compute and storage services.
Computer Scientist Systems Integration group, Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CH)
Felipe A. Cruz received his PhD in 2011 from the University of Bristol, U.K. From 2010 to 2013 he was a Postdoctoral Fellow working with GPU-dense computing systems at the Nagasaki Advance Computing Center at Nagasaki University, Japan. From 2013 to 2016, he joined the Advanced Technology group at Square Enix, Japan, on the area of GPU-computing and cloud-computing. On 2016, he joined the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre as a Computational Scientist working on integrating cutting-edge technologies into HPC.
Research Computing Consultant, University of Leeds (UK)
Martin Callaghan is a Research Computing Consultant at The University of Leeds where he provides HPC, Programming and Software Development consultancy across a diverse research community. He also manages a comprehensive HPC training programme designed to be a ``zero to hero"™ structured introduction to HPC, Cloud and research software development.
Research Software Engineer, University of Sheffield (UK)
Twin is a research software engineer in the Research Software Engineering Sheffield group (RSES) within Sheffield University's Computer Science Department. He specialises in high-performance agent-based pedestrian simulation, GPU code optimisation, virtual reality and deep learning.

This workshop is for everyone interested in containers and have access to any HPC facility. The workshop is very practical, and participants must be familiar with Unix environment and multiple common Unix commands to be able to build and run Singularity containers autonomously. No previous knowledge of containers is necessary.
