Presenter: Paul Preney, SHARCNET

This presentation continues exploring the earlier presentations, "Leveraging the power of Linux on Windows with WSL" and "Parallel Computing: Start from Your Own Computer" and will discuss in detail: * how to run multiple Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) instances under Windows, * how to import other Linux containers into WSL on your computer, * how to export a WSL container and use such with Apptainer on such on Digital Research Alliance of Canada's clusters (which all run Linux and have Apptainer installed on them), * various aspects and issues of doing the above in practice, and, * the benefits and limitations of using one's own (Windows) computer in this way. (Using MacOS to do the same will not be discussed in this talk.)
