I have been using singularity on the zebras, scorpions, and an interactive node here at UMN for some time now and I think we have reached a stable point of this repository. I may need to make a subsequent release in the coming days to mark any updates to the batch submission system if we find bugs while making samples, but that system has been using singularity for the longest time, so I am hopeful.
Major Changes
- Allow use of
/export/scratch/users/$USER/ldmxto be the ldmx base directory. This is helpful on interactive nodes so that the user doesn't have to connect across the intranet when building/running ldmx-sw. This is by no means required and the local directory (/local/cms/user/$USER/ldmx) is still the default. - User can define the program to be run in the batch machinery. The two that have been tested are
fireandpython3. - Removal of old "bare-metal" environment machinery.
