Abstract
This second NUMPEX tutorial related to software packaging will specifically target beginners with the Spack package manager. The tutorial will introduce Spack installation, base commands, specifications , environments, … up to the very basic of software packaging. No prior experience with Spack is required.
The webinar will be organized as a hands-on session so users can directly experiment with Spack. We will provide accounts on Grid'5000 for all attendees. Users can also bring their own applications and try deployment on their preferred supercomputers. We will be available to assist you and answer questions via video and chat.
Note that this tutorial is part of the NUMPEX software integration strategy backed by the Exa-DI WP3 team. Our ambition is to have all NUMPEX-related libraries packaged with Guix and Spack, make Guix/Spack-based deployment part of every developer’s arsenal, and work with computing centers to make Guix/Spack-based user-level software deployment as frictionless as possible.
