Meeting notes

(by Kenneth)

Quick introduction by new people

  • ...

EESSI-related meetings in last month

(see slides)

  • BioHackathon EU
    • Alan: would you prepare in the same way as was done currently for a next edition of this?
    • Hugo: how much data is involved? would it be suitable for EESSI data repository?

Next EESSI hackathon / community meeting

  • ...

Progress update per EESSI layer

Filesystem layer

(see slides)

Compatibility layer

(see slides)

  • Hugo: does it make sense to switch to archdetect as default CPU detection mechanism
  • Åke: categorize packages in compat layer to prioritize package updates (glibc/openssl vs vim)
Software layer

(see slides)

  • Hugo: if you have access to any exotic hardware like a Raspberry Pi, please put the contents of /proc/cpuinfo in the #archdetect channel on Slack, so that we can build additional test cases for archdetect.

  • problem with Meson picking the wrong linker

    • because EasyBuild isn't wrapping ld.gold?
    • doesn't accept full path to linker, which is a bit of a problem
    • can be fixed by disabling GObject-Introspection, but properly fixing that doesn't seem trivial
    • maybe look into what Gentoo Prefix has done for this?
Build-and-deploy bot

(see slides)

2021.12 version of pilot repository + outlook to next pilot repository

(see slides)

AWS/Azure sponsored credits

(see slides)

  • next sync meeting with AWS planned on Mon 12 Dec
    • we will push for additional sponsored credits to avoid having to shut down our current VMs in AWS

MultiXscale EU project

(see slides)

EESSI hackathon Dec'22

(see slides)

Q&A

(see slides)
