https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/4768- on hold OpenBLAS 0.2.20
-
intel/2017b
- good to go, but should be released in sync with foss
- not EB v3.3.1
- will include fix for
--new-pr
: change default target (https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-framework/pull/2258) - also some other minor fixes/updates:
- Damian:
eb --install-latest-eb-release
still works: good! - only real issue is --new-pr got broken
- will be fixed by https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-framework/pull/2258
- workaround for now: use
eb --pr-target-account=easybuilders --new-pr
- redirect for website needed to be put in place
- PR to update docs: https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild/pull/350
- 8 maintainers now, spread across different repositories
- see http://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/develop/Maintainers.html (once docs PR is merged)
- assigning write permissions via teams in github.com/easybuilders isn't working?!
- TODO: figure out labels to organise issues/PRs better...
- Wed July 19th 2017: will hosted by Damian
- Wed Aug 2nd 2017: will hosted by Davide
-
Damian: looking into making JSC repo public under github.com/easybuilders
- first cleaning it up and internal checking
- Damian has required rights to host it under github.com/easybuilders
- will be maintained by Alan & Damian
- pretty much in sync with JSC internal repo
- some do require modifications to easyblocks
- also making that available can be considered
- could serve as inspiration for others, e.g. on HMNS
- see also CSCS repo at https://github.com/eth-cscs/production
-
Davide: work on
fosscuda
toolchain- see https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-framework/pull/2253
- problem with GCCcore-CUDA in $MODULEPATH?
- see
det_modpath_extensions
in HMNS, needs to be made aware of GCCcore+CUDA combo - both GCCcore-CUDA & GCC-CUDA subdirs should be added to $MODULEPATH for
gcccuda
&iccifortcuda
toolchain/module - see
test_hierarchical_mns
to evaluate changes with breaking backward compatibility
- see
- using GCCcore-CUDA allows sharing installations between fosscuda and intelcuda
- Shahzeb: problems building with GCCcore
- probably missing
binutils
build dep?
- probably missing
-
interest from Singularity community to add support in EasyBuild for generating Singularity images
- can be done in a number of ways, options need to be figured out and evaluated
- Kenneth/Pablo have a conf call planned with Rstor (company supporting Singularity) on this subject
