 ## Overview
 
-Designed around the notion of extreme mobility of compute and reproducible science, Singularity enables users to have full control of their operating system environment. This means that a non-privileged user can "swap out" the operating system on the host for one they control. So if the host system is running RHEL6 but your application runs in Ubuntu, you can create an Ubuntu image, install your applications into that image, copy the image to another host, and run your application on that host in it's native Ubuntu environment!

 Singularity also allows you to leverage the resources of whatever host you are on. This includes HPC interconnects, resource managers, file systems, GPUs and/or accelerators, etc.

 ### The Singularity Solution
 Singularity containers are purpose built and can include a simple binary and library stack or a complicated work flow that includes both network and file system access (or anything in between). The Singularity container images are then completely portable to any binary compatible version of Linux with the only dependency being Singularity running on the target system.
 
-Singularity blocks privilege escalation within the container so if you want to be root inside the container, you first must be root outside the container. This usage paradigm mitigates many of the security concerns that exists with containers on multi-tenant shared resources. You can directly call programs inside the container from outside the container fully incorporating pipes, standard IO, file system access, X11, and MPI makes it easy to incorporate into your environment.

 ### Portability
 Singularity containers are designed to be as portable as possible, spanning many flavors and vintages of Linux. The only known i86 limitation is the version of Linux running on the host. Singularity has been ported to distributions going as far back as RHEL 5 (and compatibles) and works on all flavors of Debian, Gentoo and Slackware. Within the container, there are almost no limitations aside from basic binary compatibility.

 Each Singularity image includes all of the application's necessary run-time libraries and can even include the required data and files for a particular application to run. This encapsulation of the entire user-space environment facilitates not only portability but also reproducibility.
