The Neurodesk Project[1] uses CVMFS to fetch Singularity container images dynamically on-the-fly from a central repository.

Yeah I saw a (mind-blowing) talk on Neurodesk (and Brainhack Cloud) last night (NeuroTechX Hacknight at Noisebridge in SF https://www.meetup.com/neurotechx-sf/events/288358663/ ) and that's what led me to CVMFS. Neurodesk is nuts (in a good way!) It successfully abstracts away so much of the gnarly details. You need different versions of that obscure program? No problem, have them all, run them concurrently, whatever.

Even if you're not a researcher it's worth checking out for the technical accomplishments.
