Singularity
Singularity is an open source container platform designed to be simple, fast, and secure. Singularity is optimized for EPC and HPC workloads, allowing untrusted users to run untrusted containers in a trusted way.
Check out who is using Singularity and some use cases of Singularity on our website.
