Description
Legion is a data-centric parallel programming system for writing portable high performance programs targeted at distributed heterogeneous architectures. Legion presents abstractions which allow programmers to describe properties of program data (e.g. independence, locality). By making the Legion programming system aware of the structure of program data, it can automate many of the tedious tasks programmers currently face, including correctly extracting task- and data-level parallelism and moving data around complex memory hierarchies. A novel mapping interface provides explicit programmer controlled placement of data in the memory hierarchy and assignment of tasks to processors in a way that is orthogonal to correctness, thereby enabling easy porting and tuning of Legion applications to new architectures.
Usage
Pull (Download)
To download the latest version of legion run,
docker pull ghcr.io/autamus/legion:latest
or to download a specific version of legion run,
docker pull ghcr.io/autamus/legion:21.03.0
Run
To run the container as an application run,
docker run --rm ghcr.io/autamus/legion legion --version
or to run the container in an interactive session run,
docker run -it --rm ghcr.io/autamus/legion bash
Mounting volumes between the container and your machine
To access files from your machine within the legion container you’ll have to mount them using the -v external/path:internal/path
option.
For example,
docker run -v ~/Documents/Data:/Data ghcr.io/autamus/legion legion /Data/myData.csv
which will mount the ~/Documents/Data
directory on your computer to the /Data
directory within the container.
HPC
If you’re looking to use this container in an HPC environment we recommend using Singularity-HPC to use the container just as any other module on the cluster. Check out the SHPC legion container here.
