The Sched app allows you to build your schedule but is not a substitute for your event registration. You must be registered for the event to participate in the sessions. If you have not registered but would like to join us, please go to the event registration page to find out more information.
This schedule is automatically displayed in Central Time (UTC/GMT -6 hours). To see the schedule in your preferred timezone, please select from the drop-down menu to the right, above "Filter by Date."

Kubernetes automates container deployment and management across environments. HPC users can benefit from Kubernetes to support the increasing demand for novel workflows, especially in AI. Kubernetes' declarative approach allows users to schedule, scale, and maintain metrics on containers while supporting multiple container runtimes. Charliecloud can enhance HPC workloads when integrated with Kubernetes. However, Kubernetes only supports container runtimes that implement the Container Runtime Interface (CRI), which Charliecloud does not. To address this, we developed a prototype CRI-compatible server for Charliecloud, allowing Kubernetes to manage pods and to create, start, and track Charliecloud containers. Despite Kubernetes expecting certain features that Charliecloud does not use, such as network namespaces, we show that the two systems can still communicate effectively. Our implementation requires 700 lines of new code, fewer than 50 lines of modification to Charliecloud, and no changes to Kubernetes. This demonstrates that Kubernetes and Charliecloud are compatible tools, advancing scientific workflows that require large compute power.
