Optimized Container Images for AI/ML and HPC

Containers gain more and more foothold as a lightweight mode of isolating different application relying on kernel features to not spin up emulated hardware - create (rather) heavy virtual machines. That worked great so far, as the resource isolation was only focusing on what the kernel can provide:

  • CPU cycles
  • Memory
  • Input/output to resources controlled by the kernel (e.g. network and filesystems)
