Abstract:

We produced a series of Docker images, layered to reflect the dependencies of the software products that each contains. The layers start at a basic SLF-compatible OS, building up toward art, then larsoft, and ending at an experiment-specific release. The two final images were published on DockerHub for testing: one containing a recent MicroBooNE uboonecode release (v4 31 00) and one containing a ROOT 6 art release configured for development with a study package (v1 18 03). Both of these images were deployed on Cori at NERSC.
