overview

Docker, a platform which simplifies the process of creating virtual Linux environments (containers), is emerging as a popular tool in the realm of scientific computing. I maintain a small repository that contains Docker images for such tasks as GPU-accelerated matrix algebra, network analysis, mathematical modeling, and even a LaTeX environment.

Most of the software contained in these images is built from source, rather than installed from a distribution’s package repository, in order to reduce dependencies, achieve better performance, or for non-standard configurations.
