MaX Container technology for HPC system

We support MAX users in exploiting container technologies for MAX codes on HPC systems. Singularity is typically used as container for HPC from all MAX partners.

Support for container technology can be requested via the central MAX support at support@max-centre.eu, or through the standard channels of the various MAX codes.

Below, BigDFT and AiiDA containers are listed with their main features. Containers for the other flagship codes will be soon released.

BigDFT Containers
