Researchers Accelerate Innovation with Containers

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Supercomputing Institute have found a way to keep the lid on the legions of small but significant software elements that high-performance computing and AI spawn by using containers. MSI is a hub for HPC research in academic institutions across the state, accelerating with NVIDIA GPUs more than 400 applications that range from understanding the genomics of cancer to the impacts of climate change. Empowering thousands of users statewide across these diverse applications is no simple task.
