Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
*Summary:* |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Last week's plans: |
| 6 |
1) Loop over commands in the build process for multiple implementations. |
| 7 |
2) Add more mpi implementation's versions to the overlay, testing with |
| 8 |
mpi-providers |
| 9 |
3) Adjust libraries/binaries installations globally. This will later be for |
| 10 |
mpi-dependent things only |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I have split this work into two different versions- one which emulates |
| 13 |
multibuild and one which exports src_* in a more normal fashion. I did this |
| 14 |
considering multibuild is more complex to fully understand, and that it may |
| 15 |
be a better course of action to start with a more normal src_* procedure, |
| 16 |
then add multibuild functionality as needed. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Next week's plan: |
| 19 |
1) Successfully export src_* and test with mpich. |
| 20 |
2) Continue testing against mpi-providers and adding more versions of |
| 21 |
openmpi and mpich to the overlay. |
| 22 |
3) Continue adding to wiki/README as functionality is added. Will talk to |
| 23 |
mentors about other means of documentation as well. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
*Day-by-day breakdown:* |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
*Monday's Goals:* |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Complete loop to repeat commands per selected implementation. |
| 30 |
Work in progress. Currently using a multibuild-like system, needs further |
| 31 |
testing with mpi implementations. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Implement src_* per abi, per mpi implementation. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Further discussion needed. The main question here- how will users be |
| 36 |
interacting with this eclass? I was thinking something along the lines of |
| 37 |
${implementation}_foreach_version to find the correct range of versions |
| 38 |
that need to be installed. Perhaps this could be its own function that acts |
| 39 |
globally among all implementations, and pulls the existing Portage tree |
| 40 |
versions to find ones that need to be installed. I'll bring this up in the |
| 41 |
IRC. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
*Tuesday's Goals:* |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
I will be taking the most of the day off due to an upcoming data science |
| 48 |
exam on Wednesday. Work will continue on Wednesday as normal, with hours |
| 49 |
shifted to reach over 35 hours for the week. However, I will likely be |
| 50 |
asking questions in the IRC. I mainly want to clarify design tomorrow. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
*Wednesday's Goals:* |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Fix everything that is currently broken in the overlay. Repoman among other |
| 56 |
things. Get master to a stable testing point again. |
| 57 |
Complete. I am still investigating the "partial QA payment" warnings, and |
| 58 |
still need to look into fortran uses in different gcc versions. |
| 59 |
Improvements were made to the point where testing can continue. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Mail about mpi-select design. Make revisions and additions accordingly. |
| 62 |
Awaiting response. I was intending on sending this much earlier than I did |
| 63 |
because I ended up working much later than intended. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Add to wiki. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
Work in progress. I updated it to match the README, which is minimal. Next |
| 68 |
steps are to add instructions/guidance using proper wiki formatting. |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
*Thursday's Goals:* |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
Test new eclass with different versions of different implementations (i.e. |
| 75 |
multilib vs. no multilib, fortran vs. no fortran, etc.) |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
Work in progress. With such varied testing there are still many errors to |
| 78 |
be fixed. These will be apart of tomorrow's work. |
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
Ask more questions regarding 2nd eclass as needed. Add to eclass based on |
| 82 |
design responses. |
| 83 |
|
| 84 |
Completed, again rather late. I hope to continue this dialogue more in our |
| 85 |
weekly meeting. The current dialogue has been very helpful- it has given me |
| 86 |
a lot more to research today. |
| 87 |
|
| 88 |
|
| 89 |
Update wiki to use better formatting to better explain things (i.e. code |
| 90 |
blocks) |
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
Incomplete. As we are discussing new ways of doing things and clarifying |
| 93 |
design choices, I thought it would be best to postpone the wiki overhaul |
| 94 |
until more resolutions have been agreed upon. I'm planning on getting |
| 95 |
enough info to overhaul the wiki tomorrow. |
| 96 |
|
| 97 |
|
| 98 |
*Friday's Goals:* |
| 99 |
|
| 100 |
Further clarify user-end execution in IRC chat. Modify eclass to properly |
| 101 |
support make.conf MPI_TARGETS editing as needed. |
| 102 |
Incomplete. I failed to set up a meeting. I will try to do this earlier, as |
| 103 |
I know differing time zones make things less convenient. My Thursdays and |
| 104 |
Fridays are preferable for meetings, as I do not have to leave for class |
| 105 |
these days. |
| 106 |
|
| 107 |
Test & edit mpi-select to the point where it is more stable for various |
| 108 |
openmpi and mpich versions. Add any working versions to the overlay. |
| 109 |
Complete. Worth noting- I have been testing against mpi-providers rather |
| 110 |
than mpi-select. mdpi-select needs to have more functionality in order to |
| 111 |
warrant bringing something else into the overlay from a successful test. |
| 112 |
|
| 113 |
Finally overhaul the wiki based on current discussions :) |
| 114 |
Complete. Will be adding to this as time moves on, of course. |
| 115 |
|

Thanks, |
| 119 |
