There's been some WCT-related work in the past using Docker containers but that fizzled due to Docker's complexity and usage barrier (even if that leads to better build performance and features). It was immediately clear from Kazu's tutorial that Singularity reduces the usage barrier and would solve a big problem for the WCT team. Namely the difficulties we have in building FNAL's <i>art</i> and LArSoft (LS) software ecosystem on our computers. With Singularity containers we now have a way for just one person to suffer and let many others benefit. </p> <p><a href="http://wirecell.github.io/news/posts/singularity-containers-for-wct-and-wcls-running-and-development/">Read more…</a> (4 min remaining to read)</p></div>builddevellarsofthttp://wirecell.github.io/news/posts/singularity-containers-for-wct-and-wcls-running-and-development/Fri, 17 Aug 2018 13:30:33 GMThttp://wirecell.github.io/news/posts/porting-and-integration-begun/Brett Viren<p> Xin concluded an intense effort to port the prototype <a href="https://github.com/WireCell/wire-cell-sigproc">signal processing code into the toolkit</a>. </p> <p> With hints from Lynn Garren (FNAL) a <a href="https://github.com/brettviren/larwirecell/blob/feature/integration/larwirecell/integration.org#set-larwirecell-environment">method</a> to set up an environment where both WCT and its LArSoft integration package (<code>larwirecell</code>) can be simultaneously developed. </p>builddevellarsofthttp://wirecell.github.io/news/posts/porting-and-integration-begun/Mon, 03 Jul 2017 19:20:25 GMT
