In preparation for the post-LHC era, the Future Circular Collider (FCC)
Collaboration is undertaking design studies for multiple accelerator
projects with emphasis on proton-proton and electron-positron high-energy
frontier machines. From the beginning of the collaboration, the development
of a software stack with common and interchangeable packages plays an
important role in simulation,...
This talk will present the activities and developments at Compute Canada related to CVMFS and publication and management of research software and data, including topics such as availability and resiliency considerations for globally-accessible repositories, collaboration and coordination challenges that can arise when different organizations use each other's repositories, and container image...
CVMFS is primarily used on the grid for distributing released experiment code, and it is expected that only a small number of people in each experiment manage that code. Fermilab has implemented a system for publishing temporary user analysis code in CVMFS, with repositories that are shared by many people and a server API that accepts tarballs from users in multiple experiments. Updates are...
Cloudflare Workers is a serverless computing platform optimized to minimize latency to end users. Cloudflare runs every guest function in each server of its network's 175 points of presence, meaning code runs as close to the end user as possible, and is not confined to geographic regions. This requires overcoming a scalability challenge faced by container-based platforms: how to reduce each...
The Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) operates a large-scale network-, data- and compute-infrastructure for scientific research covering a broad spectrum of use cases from scalability-focused large-scale simulations to community-specific services with high-throughput requirements. In this talk we will discuss the design of JSC’s facility addressing such different use cases though a mixture of...
This talk explores the underlying purposes of CernVM-FS and CephFS, providing intuition for the general goals of each project, indicating recent directions and highlighting use cases for which they are each well-suited.

During my talk, I will show how it is possible to run OCI containers with Podman without requiring root privileges on the host.
In the second part of the talk, I'll focus on how we use fuse-overlayfs to replace the kernel overlay file system implementation, and the fuse-overlayfs built-in shifts-like capabilities.
