There are several methods to implement portable application stacks at present. Among them are containers and virtual machines. When using these solutions to package a single application (or application stack), one ends up having to manage the entire operating system overhead (security, updates, size/bulk, etc..) just to distribute a single application or workflow. While virtual machines and containers have strong usage benefits, application portability and distribution is not an efficient use of these technologies. Singularity works on a completely different perspective. Contrary to building and managing an entire operating system environment (for the sake of portability and reproducibility of an application stack), Singularity works on the opposite premise. By configuration of an application stack spec via a configuration file, coupled with automatic dependency resolution to achieve portability, Singularity can create minimalistic singlet "app" which can easily be copied from system to system and run using Singularity on different systems.
