“Keeping it Simple, Keeping it #EESSI: Updates from 2023-2024″ by Pedro Santos Neves at SURF Advanced Computing User Day, on 12 December 2024, in the Jaarbeurs, Utrecht.
Abstract:
EESSI, the European Environment for Scientific Software Installations, is a collaborative project to build a shared scientific software stack for #HPC systems and beyond. In this session we will give a brief overview of EESSI and highlight recent developments for HPC users and system administrators. On top of the ever increasing number of supported applications in the software stack, there is a lot of exciting news that make EESSI even more versatile and simple to use. Extending the existing stack and customizing it for the needs of local HPC sites is now a breeze with the new EESSI-extend functionality. Similarly, scientific software developers can use the new dev.eessi.io repository to build, test, and deploy their development builds among a wide range of CPU architectures. Last but not least, the new EESSI CI workflows take care of many CI setup headaches by making the entire software stack available from the start in GitHub and GitLab.
