To check the current installed versions, use the module avail command (current versions may be different from content shown here):

$ module avail singularity
------------------------------------ /software/setonix/2024.05/pawsey/modules -------------------------------------
   singularity/4.1.0-askap-gpu    singularity/4.1.0-mpi       singularity/4.1.0-slurm (D)
   singularity/4.1.0-askap        singularity/4.1.0-nohost
   singularity/4.1.0-mpi-gpu      singularity/4.1.0-nompi

Depending on the cluster, different Singularity modules may be available:

These modules differ on the flavour of the MPI library they bind mount in the containers at runtime, and on whether or not they also bind mount the required libraries for CUDAGPU-aware MPI:

• singularity, /VV-mpi:          Cray MPI (Setonix) or Intel MPI (other clusters). All ABI compatible with MPICH
• singularity/VV-mpi-gpu: Cray MPI (Setonix) or Intel MPI (othersother clusters). All ABI compatible with MPICH. With GPU-aware MPI.
• singularity/VV-nompi:     For applications that do not require mpi communications (commonly Bioinformatics applications)
• singularity/VV-openmpi: OpenMPIsingularity-openmpi-gpu: OpenMPI built with CUDA support and any other libraries required by CUDA-aware MPI (for example: gdrcopynohost:   For applications that require total isolation from host environment (commonly Bioinformatics applications)

Features of the modules

These singularity modules set important environment variables to provide a smoother and more efficient user experience. Modules set several key environment variables
