Next generation nuclear and high energy physics experiments are moving filtering and processing tasks, previously done with online resources, to the data center. High resolution imaging systems at light sources and electron microscopes require significant amounts of “online” computing resources to rapidly reconstruct images to allow researchers to make “on the fly” adjustments to running...
Podman is the default container execution platform shipped with RHEL/CentOS 8, and is now also available in RHEL/CentOS/SL 7. It provides a user command line interface that is effectively identical to Docker's, and supports rootless container execution.
