+# SIG/HPC Meeting 2024-02-22
+
+## Attendees 
+
+* Sherif Nagy
+* Neil Hanlon
+* Alan Marshall
+* Brian Peters
+* Chris Simmons
+* Brian Phan
+* Forrest Burt
+
+## Follow Ups 
+
+* NVIDIA GPU driver Testing - Chris
+  * https://github.com/mghpcsim/gpu-testing/tree/master
+  * documented process for configuring instance, installing drivers (open source or proprietary), setting up container runtimes, nvidia container toolkit
+    * Benchmarks using forked toolkit from Lambda labs with Rocky customizations
+  * initial control benchmark (pytorch):
+    * closed drivers slightly (4s) faster
+  * Plan: run benchmarks on progressively newer instances and collect results
+    * Publish results on Wiki
+* Intel driver - Met with them, went well
+  * Can build this driver into signed kernel modules, add to testing Chris is doing
+  * This will live in SIG/Kernel because it's a kernel module
+  * driver toolkit pieces probably will end up in HPC SIG
+* Kernel Cnode (for MoS)
+  * Sherif synced with Jeremy
+    * Lots of progress has been made, almost all patches backported
+    * there are couple problematic patches--they're based on SLES kernels, but a bit different enough to be problematic
+      * Pablo will help once the problem is set
+
+## Discussions
+
+* Testing - Warewulf, others
+  * Sherif and Brian Phan synced on warewulf testing
+  * Not *just* installibility, upgrade path, etc
+  * What can we use? Multiple things, probably
+    * OpenQA? TMT? Zuul? Whatever OpenHPC uses?
+    * Testing team would also love to get more people involved and participating in building tests
+  * Example tests:
+    * Provision cluster
+    * nodes communicate
+    * etc
+  * Want: have full end to end testing of all components
+  * What tests do we want?
+    * Functional
+      * Create cluster
+      * Create user
+      * Submit job as user
+      * Future:
+        * Slurm accounting/dbd, others
+* Package tracking - PoI tracker
+  * Neil is looking how we can integrate this
+* Wiki Updates - Neil and Sherif will work on this at FOSDEM/CentOS Connect
+  * This didn't really happen specifically, but discussions about ensuring Wikis are up to date did happen
+
+### Open Floor
+
+* N/A
+
+### Action Items
+
+* Sherif to build and release intel driver
+* Sherif and Brian to work on defining tests that we want to run
+* Neil to work on package update notifications
