Singularity is a container technology, much like Docker, but more commonly seen on clusters as it does not contain the same security issues surrounding administrative access from within a container. We currently provide users a module for singularity, which can allow them to run and build their own containers for their software. Due to the nature of singularity, we do not keep older version of the software available as a module, even though we currently create a versioned module. As this versioned file does get removed if a newer version of singularity is installed, we recommend loading singularity using the default module. Using the default will also buffer your job scripts from deprecation of Singularity versions so you do not need to worry about a job failing due to the removal of the versioned module you were using.
