Orchestration using Docker Swarm for MPI based processes

Webinar #2 – Let’s Go Again!
We’re back with the second webinar in our series! Join us on April 16, 2025, at 18:00, either in person at the FINKI Amphitheater (TMF) or online – whatever works for you.

New topics, great vibes, and a chance to learn something cool together. See you there!

Abstract: Containerization has revolutionized software deployment by offering a lightweight, efficient, and portable way to package applications along with their dependencies. Among the leading technologies in this space, Docker has played a transformative role in how we develop, test, and deploy software across diverse computing environments. In this presentation, we’ll explore how Docker Swarm technology can be applied to implement MPI (Message Passing Interface) processes within the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. We’ll walk through the deployment strategy and demonstrate a scenario showcasing the parallel execution of MPI tasks using Docker Swarm, highlighting its potential to streamline and scale complex scientific computations.
