Progress update per EESSI layer

Filesystem layer

(see slides)

Compatibility layer

(see slides)

• w.r.t. lack of recent GSLA report, feedback from Guilherme:
  • can review bugzilla for security issues
  • emerge --pretend to check for package updates, then see if any security related stuff is involved

Software layer

(see slides)

• CUDA support: open PR
  • CUDA samples should be installed in software layer?
    • or included with CUDA on EasyBuild side
  • call for testing on Ubuntu, CentOS, Arm systems, ...
  • add_nvidia_gpu_support.sh is starting point
  • would be useful to have a small README file added

2021.12 version of pilot repository

(see slides)

• next pilot version
  • (Caspar) also requires changes to easystack support in EasyBuild
    • mainly so options can be specified per installation as well
