Software deployment on DGX-2 is based on containers. NVIDIA provides a wide range of prepared Docker containers with a variety of different software. A user can easily download these containers and use them directly on the DGX-2.

NVIDIA expects usage of Docker as a containerization tool, but Docker is not a suitable solution in a multiuser environment. For this reason, the [Singularity container][b] solution is used.
Singularity can be used very similar to Docker, the only change is a rewrite of an image URL address. For example, original command for Docker `docker run -it nvcr.io/nvidia/theano:18.08` should be rewritten to `singularity shell docker://nvcr.io/nvidia/theano:18.08`. More about Singularity [here][1].

For fast container deployment, all images are cached after first use in *lscratch* directory. This behavior can be changed by *SINGULARITY_CACHEDIR* environment variable, but the start time of container will increase significantly.
