<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Containers such as Singularity allow users to pack an application and all of its dependencies, including the operation system, into a single image, which makes the application
more portable, shareable, and reproducible. For instance, one user can create in his/her own HPC environment a Singularity image for a complex workflow with many software components and their dependencies, then share it with other users, who can run the workflow
on other HPC systems, independent of the environment as along as Singularity is supported. In this tutorial, we will show how to build Singularity images and run them on the LSU/LONI HPC clusters.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

overview of Open OnDemand, and a demonstration of all it's features, including Jupyter Notebook and RStudio.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
