This guarantees that it will always run the same, regardless of the environment it is running in. This talk will provide some background on linux containers, and its applicability to HPC, heterogeneous platforms in specific, and challenges in adoption. The talk will give an overview of packaging HPC applications as containers versus existing options and shed light on performance versus portability.
