CSSI: Elements: First Workshop on NSF and DOE High Performance Computing Tools

高性能计算（HPC）软件的安装变得越来越复杂。复杂的包间依赖性可能导致生产力的显著损失。该项目将举办为期两天的实践研讨会，汇集NSF资源提供商和系统管理员，NSF PI和HPC应用程序开发人员，以及来自DOE国家实验室和行业的科学家和设施管理员，以在HPC软件部署方面开展强有力的合作。将使用的软件开发工具包（SDK）可通过容器化发行版以及Spack（超级计算机的应用程序商店）获得。该研讨会将对向NSF和其他超级计算站点交付HPC软件产生重大影响。它将更好地装备应用程序开发人员使用现代软件交付基础设施，包括HPC容器和Spack平台。高性能计算（HPC）软件的安装变得越来越复杂。复杂的包间依赖性可能导致生产力的显著损失。这个关于HPC工具的研讨会将汇集NSF资源提供商和系统管理员，NSF PI和HPC应用程序开发人员，以及来自美国能源部国家实验室和行业的科学家和设施管理员，以在HPC方面开展强有力的合作。能源部Exascale计算项目（ECP）在软件开发工具包（SDK）中生成了HPC库和工具的极端规模科学软件栈（E4S）。该SDK可通过容器化发行版以及Spack（超级计算机的应用程序商店）获得。Spack包含从源代码构建软件包的方法，是部署ECP软件的主要方法。这个为期两天的研讨会将重点关注Spack平台和E4S。本次会议的预期成果将是在HPC系统上实际部署ECP SDK软件栈和基于容器的运行时，并了解如何为基于Spack的构建开发自定义配方。拟议的研讨会将对向NSF和其他超级计算站点交付HPC软件产生重大影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

High Performance Computing (HPC) software has become increasingly complex to install. The complex inter-package dependency can lead to significant loss of productivity. This project will conduct a two-day hands-on workshop that brings together NSF resource providers and system administrators, NSF PIs and HPC application developers, and scientists and facilities administrators from the DOE national laboratories, and industry to develop a strong collaboration on HPC software deployment. The Software Development Kit (SDK) that will be used is available through a containerized distribution as well as Spack - an app store for supercomputers. The workshop will have a significant impact on enabling the delivery of HPC software to NSF and other supercomputing sites. It will better equip application developers in the use of modern software delivery infrastructures including HPC containers and the Spack platform. High Performance Computing (HPC) software has become increasingly complex to install. The complex inter-package dependency can lead to significant loss of productivity. This workshop on HPC tools will bring together NSF resource providers and system administrators, NSF PIs and HPC application developers, and scientists and facilities administrators from the DOE national laboratories, and industry to develop a strong collaboration on HPC. DOEs Exascale Computing Project (ECP) has produced an Extreme-Scale Scientific Software Stack (E4S) of HPC libraries and tools in a Software Development Kit (SDK). This SDK is available through a containerized distribution as well as Spack - an app store for supercomputers. Spack includes recipes for building packages from source code and is the primary means of deploying ECP software. This two-day workshop will focus on the Spack platform and E4S. The expected outcome of this meeting will be actual deployment of the ECP SDK software stack and container-based runtimes on the HPC systems and an understanding of how to develop custom recipes for Spack based builds. The proposed workshop will have a significant impact on enabling the delivery of HPC software to NSF and other supercomputing sites. It will better equip application developers in the use of modern software delivery infrastructures including HPC containers and the Spack platform.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
