      • Due to our priority on CCA work, Shashi will focus on CCA work to help make progress quicker there. This project will continue, as Marcin Juszkiewicz, a Red Hat assignee into Linaro, will continue the work.
    • Confidential Computing on Realms (CCR)
      • Arm requested a change to the name of the project in order to avoid confusion and to make sure that the work we are doing is very well synchronized with the CCA work.
      • The project will be renamed to Deploy CCA on Arm Platforms (DCAP).
      • Work ongoing in the reproduction of Arm's environment with FVPs.
      • From a management perspective, we are digging deeper into Veraison and how the attestation verification service it provides integrates with other part of the software stack, specially with Confidential Containers (CoCo).
    • Tensorflow
      • Finishing latest bugs before 2.14 branch cut. Release will happen probably before end of August.
      • Close to 2.14 there will be a 2.15 with the goal to introduce clang 17 as the official tool chain for Tensorflow. AArch64 is still built with gcc because there are 5 unit tests failing when building with clang 16. Andrew is investigating these issues.
    • Big Data and Data Science (BDDS)
      • Investigating some performance issues in Hadoop and Spark. The Spark issues are pointing to potential performance issues on OpenBLAS. Investigating.
    • STOR
      • Ceph
        • OpenEuler support introduced. Ceph can be natively built in OpenEuler and there is a remote CI running.
      • Lustre
        • CI was set up and new errors related to file system check were found. Next step is to investigate these bugs.
        • OpenEuler latest LTS release includes Lustre packages.
