Champions Tech Talk March 2019

Next Tech Talk – Wednesday, March 27th at 2pm ET — 1pm CT — 12pm MT — 11 PT

• Spack: A package manager for HPC – Presenter: Todd Gamblin, Computer Scientist – Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).
  • Spack is an open-source package manager for HPC.  Its simple, templated Python DSL allows the same package to be built in many configurations, with different compilers, flags, dependencies, and dependency versions.  Spack allows HPC end users to automatically build any of over 3,000 community-maintained packages, software developers to easily manage large applications with hundreds of dependencies, and HPC facility administrators to deploy software stacks for all of their users.
  • This talk will give an overview of Spack, including recent developments and a number of items on the near-term roadmap.  We’ll focus on how Spack can help university HPC centers, both for facility deployments and for building containers.
