Description

Hello all, thanks for the amazing library!

I am in the process of porting my code to NeMo 2.0 and NeMo Run. I work with a GH200 HPC cluster and run commands via PBS with Singularity with the NeMo container image and mpirun for going multi-node. Could I use some of the executors to run that? Does the DockerExecutor support Singularity/Apptainer? Would it be possible I make my own executor, and is there a tutorial for that?

I appreciate any help!

EDIT 1: I also have access to enroot 3.5, but haven't used it before.

Research direction

Start by reading the executor APIs and the DockerExecutor entry point to understand how launch environments are represented. Check whether PBS, Singularity/Apptainer, mpirun, or enroot are addressed elsewhere; done would be documented or implemented support for the requested cluster workflow, including guidance for a custom executor.
