From: l...@gnu.org (Ludovic Courtès) Subject: Guix on clusters and in HPC Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2016 16:20:43 +0200
So I’ve come up with an initial list of work items going from the immediate needs to crazy ideas (batch scheduler integration!) that hopefully make sense to cluster/HPC people. I’d be happy to get feedback, suggestions, etc. from whoever is interested!
Here's a semi-crazy suggestion: some HPC people really like the intel compiler/math kernel library, so a way to switch toolchains on packages, and somehow integrate “foreign” toolchains would suit them. But that might be “advocating the use of non-free software” (in fact I almost feel like a heretic for bringing this up :-) ...).
best, Thomas
