Synopsys Container

The Singularity-based Synopsys container solution provides OS libraries and other dependencies required by Synopsys tools.  This minimizes the possibility of failure due to missing dependencies at run-time.

Specifically, using a Synopsys container provides the following benefits:

• A consistent, controlled runtime environment
• The correct version of required OS libraries and other dependencies
• The ability to run application on heterogeneous host machines
