Minutes 

  • openHPC Status update (Eric (ARM))

    • Architecture and test coordinator roles being fulfilled by Eric at the moment

    • All details are up on the openHPC site and github

      • Add link here….Instructions specific for booting uefi and other options

      • Working to patch werewolf so that this just works

    • KV: How easy is it to commision the servers?

    • EV: Fairly straightforward -  just Need to manually configure the Pxe order

    • EV: May need to factor in some peculiarities from the kernel

    • MS: 4.9 kernel includes all that is needed

    • openHPC Will track the stable releases of the distros. The idea is to provide a reference. There is still further discussion but the current plan is to follow stable releases

    • MS: Have you looked at the Debian SC efforts?

      • EV: Not specifically but am using Debian and should be straightforward to push the patches up

    • LW: Specifically HPC interest on Debian? Not something that is seen by the Market which suggests CentOS and Suse

      • MS: Yes and that is correct for anything outside of China

    • openHPC meetings are open to all and anyone can dial in

    • LW: How do you see this consumed from a customer point of view?

    • EV: There are many downloads but not much info on how it is being used. Looking to gather info on deployment but it all depends on vendors being forthcoming to information

  • CI infrastructure update (Martin)

    • Target for the set up in China? March, before BUD17

    • ACTION Members: Please provide email addresses for those who need a tenancy on the CI

  • AOB
