Using Containers

Container images for Docker and Singularity have been built to allow OSKAR to be used easily on systems where these are deployed.

To run an OSKAR Python script on P3-ALaSKA using Kubernetes, see the example given in the Docker, Podman & Kubernetes section.

To run an OSKAR Python script on a HPC system where Singularity is available (including the Oxford ARC system and Cambridge CSD3 system), see the example given in the Singularity section.

Note

These containers are intended for use only on Linux systems (optionally) with NVIDIA GPUs, as they use the nvidia/cuda base image. However, they will also run on Linux systems without GPUs attached.

On the host system, GPU drivers supporting CUDA 10.1 or later must be installed in order to use these containers with GPUs.
