Infiniband installation on OpenHPC tracking on HPC-351:
- Code mostly finished, will test next week
- Will submit a pull request once finished
We need to move the repository to Linaro, Fujitsu forks, we all send pull requests to
- Pulls requested will be merged on master, but we still keep the production branch for our lab
- Fujitsu should slowly review our own changes, so that we can merge them to master, too
- We can still keep separate branches for each lab, so that we can slowly review each other's patches
LLVM development on track
- GVN ad pipeliners done, no tests yet but rebased to trunk
- regalloc still working, still on LLVM 6
- There was a round table at LLVM dev meeting about pipeliner
- We sent our work to them, but not yet got feedback on discussions
- GitHub's monorepo move should not affect those changes, we'll move when they're done
Finishing the cleanup of the lab
- Mr-Provisioner client is upstream
- Removing the old Ansible client from our lab (almost finished)
- Adding an Infiniband automated test in Jenkins
Working on ERP for next release
- Tested on our machines, kernel 4.18, working well
- Some backports coming, we'll test again
Will look into OpenHPC test suite next week
- Fix long/short run issues
- understand why tests all run n 0s
- add missing tests
Looked at OpenBLAS performance
Arm claims improvements on their Fortran support (commercial compiler)
- None of this is upstream, so we have no idea what's going on
- Fujitsu has to use their own old compiler or gfortran
- Our work is independent of language
- F18 is a new Fortran compiler for LLVM written in C++17 (sounds promising)
