+# SIG/HPC meeting 2023-11-15
+
+## Attendees:
+    * Sherif Nagy
+    * Neil Hanlon
+    * Chris McGuire
+    * Jeremy Siadal - Intel
+    * Filip Hans Polbratt - NSC
+    * Dr. Chris Simmons - MGHPCC
+
+## Discussions:
+
+* Jeremy - Intel group quite interested in integrating with Rocky
+    * Likely internal team will provide drivers, but Jeremy will handle the spec file
+
+* Kernel cnode - repo is created and should be ready
+    * Should be based off Rocky's base kernel, not upstream ML/LTS
+    * MOS - Multi Operating System
+        * LWK - Lightweight Kernel Project
+    * Will need to patch into the scheduler
+    * also will strip out everything that's not needed
+    * what could be put directly in the kernel instead of modules - could also eliminate initrd if needed
+    * Secureboot?
+        * This should be OK to do, but we need to make sure it's still compliant with shim
+        * we are now separating the SB certs by SIG, so we will need to request certs from Security
+    * MOS - some patches in the scheduler are not applying cleanly due to changes in scheduler code
+        * CIQ might be able to help investigate the 6 patches
+* Intel GPU Driver  - Neil didn't catch this
+* Warewulf
+    * Spec files exist in the github for warewulf
+    * Sherif to investigate
+* Testing
+    * Currently - Testing team handles this manually at this time
+    * Jeremy would like to have our own test harness
+    * Suggest TMT for maximum cross polination - Testing team should be working on that
+    * Neil can work to provide infrastructure for testing
+        * Must be at least 1 hardware system (x86) with at least two GPUs (Intel)
+        * Need x86 AND arm for Nvidia - A30, etc - 4x cards
+        * need infiniband (and SR/IOV support, and cross talk)
+    * Links
+        * https://tmt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/spec.html 
+        * https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/ci/tmt/
+* Cloud RDMA - GCP
+    * Send this to Kernel SIG :)
+
+## Action items:
+
+* Sherif to finish/complete work on the wiki
+* Sherif to add Jeremy and Chris to gitusers and sig_hpc
+    * Neil added ohpcsim and jcsiadal to gitusers. Sherif will add to gitusers
+* Decide what is being put into cnode kernel, what is being removed - Jeremy
+* Request SB Certs for HPC cnode kernel from Security
+* Compare spec files for Warewulf vs OpenHPC - Sherif
+* Investigate what resources are required for testing - Neil
