An OCI-compatible container engine designed specifically for running Linux containers on High Performance Computing (HPC) environments.
What is Scarus?
Sarus is an OCI-compatible container engine specifically designed for High Performance Computing environments. It enables researchers and engineers to run Linux containers on HPC systems while addressing the unique security, performance, and compatibility requirements of supercomputers and clusters. The software allows users to deploy containerized applications with native performance on custom hardware through extensible runtime hooks.
HPC system administrators, researchers, and engineers who need to run containerized applications on supercomputers, clusters, and other high-performance computing environments with specific security and performance requirements.
Developers choose Sarus because it's specifically engineered for HPC environments, offering security hardening for multi-tenant systems, compatibility with workload managers, and optimized performance for parallel filesystems—features not typically found in general-purpose container engines.
