    • Jinshui/Peter Lui (Futurewei) - 

      Back to Aug/Sept when Joshua Terry as the Linaro HPC-SIG technical lead, Peter discussed with him about the ARM HPC system integration and testing environment options. One of the options is Futurewei may be able to host an ARM64 cluster (for example, 16-32 2-socket nodes). But then Joshua left Linaro and the discussion paused.

      • However, network connection not yet working. Comments appreciated.
    • Lab Updates - hardware changes at Colo Nov.11/12 2019. Currently no known facility to host water-cooled nodes.
    • Tensorflow script has been documented - comments appreciated - Building TensorFlow on AArch64
      • Problems with NumPy building. Bug appears in OpenHPC and RedHat. Perhaps consider including assistance from Linaro Toolchain team.
    • Futurewei hosting - How does affect 'EAR' restrictions for technology transfer if we login to a Futurewei hosted system?
    • Compiler Updates - Open
      • LLVM updates continuing for A64FX by Fujitsu under NDA.
      • GCC updates for A64FX - there are currently no Fujitsu resources. Non-NDA resources cannot be used until the A64FX technical specification is made available.
      • A64FX specification 'may' be released 1Q2020.
