Abstract
Software deployments in general, and deep learning applications in particular, suffer from difficulty in reproducible results. The use of containers to mitigate these issues is becoming a common practice. Singularity is a container technology which targets the unique issues present in High Performance Computing (HPC) Centers. This paper characterizes the impact of using Singularity for both Training and Inference on deep learning applications.
