Singularity
Singularity is a free and open-source computer program that performs operating-system-level virtualization also known as containerization. A Singularity container is used to encapsulate all required software and dependencies for a workflow. This is extremely useful when trying to execute a particular workflow on different systems. Containers make compiling software on different compute platforms easy and effortless.
