,→Similarities and differences with national GP clusters: advice on testing containers
* The same scheduler is used, [https://slurm.schedmd.com/documentation.html Slurm], although with simpler policies. See "Job Scheduling", below.
* The same [https://docs.alliancecan.ca/wiki/Using_modules modules] system provides access to the same list of [https://docs.alliancecan.ca/wiki/Available_software available software].
* [https://apptainer.org/docs/admin/main/user_namespace.html User namespaces] are disabled on login nodes for security reasons, which means that Apptainer will (probably) not work. We recommend that you test containers on compute nodes using <code>srun</code> or <code>salloc</code>; Apptainer should work there. For more on <code>srun</code> or <code>salloc</code> see [https://docs.alliancecan.ca/wiki/Running_jobs#Interactive_jobs Interactive jobs].
