Topic: Spack: A package manager for supercomputers
Speaker: Todd Gamblin, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Abstract:
Spack is a popular tool for managing complex software stacks, and it is now sustained by a large and active open-source community. Designed to adapt to many workflows for end-users, developers, and facility staff, Spack is used by researchers and HPC centers around the world to simplify dependency management and software integration. This talk will start with a brief overview of Spack’s capabilities. Followed by a description of how Spack “environments” can serve as a basis for many devops workflows, and how Spack’s binary packaging features interact with OCI registries. Finally, we’ll give a preview of our roadmap and plans for Spack v0.23, due to be released this November at Supercomputing 2024
