INFO: Singularity update on Oscar starting Monday December 16, 2019

Description: We will be rolling out Singularity version 3.4.2 on Oscar beginning Monday, December 16, 2019.

Details: The current Singularity (version 2.2) will still be supported on Oscar but users will now need to load the module to use the older version. This can be done with the command:
module load singularity/2.2

Users who want to test the new version ahead of time can do so using node426 as follows:
Via interactive session:
interact -q debug -h node426

Via batch script:
#SBATCH --nodelist=node426

User Impact - Minimal. Currently running/scheduled jobs or any other Oscar-related services will not be affected.

If you have any questions or concerns please let us know at support@ccv.brown.edu.
