在这里，我们提出了奇异性，开发了用于将容器和可重复性带入科学计算的软件。使用奇异容器，开发人员可以在其选择和设计的可再现环境中工作，并且这些完整的环境可以轻松地在其他平台上复制和执行。奇异性是一项开源计划，它利用系统和软件工程师和研究人员的专业知识，并无缝地集成到这两个组中的常见工作流程中。作为其主要用例，奇异性将计算的移动性带给了用户和HPC中心，从而提供了一种安全的手段来捕获和分发软件和计算环境。这种在这些中心创建和部署可再现环境的能力，以前的需求，使奇点成为改变计算科学的游戏开发。
Here we present Singularity, software developed to bring containers and reproducibility to scientific computing. Using Singularity containers, developers can work in reproducible environments of their choosing and design, and these complete environments can easily be copied and executed on other platforms. Singularity is an open source initiative that harnesses the expertise of system and software engineers and researchers alike, and integrates seamlessly into common workflows for both of these groups. As its primary use case, Singularity brings mobility of computing to both users and HPC centers, providing a secure means to capture and distribute software and compute environments. This ability to create and deploy reproducible environments across these centers, a previously unmet need, makes Singularity a game changing development for computational science.
