LLNL participates in the ISC High Performance Conference (ISC22) on May 29 through June 2.

The Exascale Computing Project (ECP) 2022 Community Birds-of-a-Feather Days will take place May 10–12 via Zoom. The event provides an opportunity for the HPC community to engage with ECP teams to discuss our latest development efforts.

At the AWS/Arm Cloud Hackathon, Todd Gamblin and Greg Becker discuss the essential skills and concepts needed to understand how to create and deploy Spack recipes to build scientific codes.

LLNL participates in the digital ISC High Performance Conference (ISC21) on June 24 through July 2.

Computer scientist Vanessa Sochat isn’t afraid to meet new experiences head on. With a Stanford PhD and a jump-right-in attitude, she joined LLNL to work on the BUILD project, Spack package manager, and other open-source initiatives.

BUILD tackles the complexities of HPC software integration with dependency compatibility models, binary analysis tools, efficient logic solvers, and configuration optimization techniques.

LLNL computer scientist and Spack PI Todd Gamblin explains how the package manager works in this video from CppCon (C++ Conference). The video runs 6:53.

An interview with Todd Gamblin from the LLNL about the Spack project, discussing his current research project along with his involvement in Spack.

In this issue featuring LLNL's R&D 100 Award winners from 2019, software deployment is faster and easier with the Spack package management tool.

Elaine Raybourn interviews LLNL's Todd Gamblin about the Spack project's experience working remotely.

The Exascale Computing Project's Let's Talk Exascale podcast has a new episode (5:54) featuring LLNL's Todd Gamblin, who talks about the package manager Spack.

Computer scientist Greg Becker contributes to HPC research and development projects for LLNL’s Livermore Computing division.

BLT software supports HPC software development with built-in CMake macros for external libraries, code health checks, and unit testing.

Highlights include recent LDRD projects, Livermore Tomography Tools, our work with the open-source software community, fault recovery, and CEED.

Livermore builds an open-source community around its award-winning HPC package manager.

Todd Gamblin leads the PAVE project, which develops performance data visualization techniques that are more intuitive for application scientists.
