For Rocky 8 and 9, dnf install rocky-release-hpc will install the required repos
For Rocky 9: dnf install slurm22 or dnf install slurm23
For Rocky 8: you need to enable PowerTools repo first, then dnf install slurm22 or dnf install slurm23
Slurm is divided into multiple packages, so dnf search slurm might be a good idea to fetch whatever packages you need
Those are some of the packages that we are thinking to maintain and support within this SIG
* Lustre server and client\n* Slurm\n* Apptainer\n* Easybuild\n* Spack\n* opempi build slurm support\n* Lmod\n* conda\n* sstack\n* fail2ban - in EPEL not sure if it's fit in this SIG -\n* glusterfs-server - Better suited under SIG/Storage -\n* glusterfs-selinux - Better suited under SIG/Storage -\n* Cython\n* genders\n* pdsh\n* gcc (latest releases, parallel install)\n* autotools\n* cmake\n* hwloc (this really needs to support parallel versions)\n* libtool\n* valgrind (maybe)\n* charliecloud\n* Warewulf (if all config options are runtime instead of pre-compiled)\n* magpie\n* openpbs\n* pmix\n* NIS : ypserv, ypbind, yptools and a correspdonding nss_nis (took the source rpms from fedora and recompiled them for R9)\n* Alan Marshall\n* Nje\n* Neil Hanlon\n* Matt Bidwell\n* David (NezSez)\n* Jonathan Andreson\n* Stack\n* Balaji\n* Sherif\n* Gregorgy Kurzer\n* David DeBonis\nEveryone introduced themselves

* HPC End-user ?maybe?\n* HPC Systems admins and engineers, to provide them with tools and know how to build HPC clusters using Rocky linux\n* HPC Vendors, however the SIG has to be vendor neutral and agnostic\nStack: we need to make sure that we are not redoing efforts that already done with other groups Greg engaged with Open HPC community and providing some core packages such as apptainer, mpi, openHPC
Sherif: we need to have one hat to fit most of all but we can't have one hat that fit all Stack: Feedback regarding Sherif's idea that generic idea's are not great idea and there is a bad performance Greg: we need to put building blocks in the this repo and will make life easiest and lower the barriers like Spack, slurm and easybuild
Devid (NezSez): Some end users won't understand / know anything about HPC and just needs to use the HPC, such as Maya or dynamic fluids
Neil: some tools can be very easily an entry point for organization and teams to use HPC like jupiter playbook
Stack: HPC is usually tuned to different needs, we can reach to other HPC that are running Rocky to ask them to promate rocky and establish a dialog to get an idea of what things that they are running into rocky
Matt: HPC out of the box there are few projects that doing that and we don't need to run in circles of what we are going to
Balaji: SIG for scientific application that focus on support the application and optimization, and HPC suggest the architecture to reach max capabilities
Greg: Agreeing with stack we don't want to provide application that there are tools that do that
Gregory Kurtzer (Chat): A simple strategy might be just to start assembling a list of packages we want to include as part of SIG/HPC, and be open minded as this list expands.
Neil Hanlon(Chat): actually have to leave now, but, if we make some sort of toolkit, it has to be quite unopinionated... OpenStack-Ansible is a good example of being unopinionated about how you run your openstack cluster(s), but give you all the tools to customize and tune to your unique situation, too

Greg: We can reach to DDN about anything related to Luster
Sherif: Suggesting to start building packages
Nick: To build the community we need to start looking into documentation and forums
Stack: we need to be careful and have strong justification for rebuilding stuff that exists in Epel
Greg: asked how HPC centre prefer to manage / or already managing their slurm setup
Few members mentioned one of the following two methods: * Keep upgrading on minor version of slurm * Keep upgrading on minor version of slurm then a major upgrade in a scheduled maintains window
Greg and Nick: adding major-minor version in package name something like python2/3
Sherif: Asking about Testing methodology with testing team
Stack: They hope at some point they are able to test all sigs and working on getting OpenQA build for this

Jeremy, Question about Redhat closing sources
Sherif, Explained the UBI and the cloud method based on the latest Rocky blog post https://rockylinux.org/news/keeping-open-source-open/

Sherif what to look for next?

Jeremy, it is a bit more complex than what it seems but worth doing
David, what is the added value from moving the PMIX to newer version
Jeremy, we need to look at the user base and see if this is needed
Stack, asks about PMIX and what it is
David, the extension for pmix is more needed when you implement on scale and performance is an issue within slurm
Greg, we can have pmix into the SIG, that's not a bad idea
Jeremy, we will also need runtime aspects of it
David, yes we will need both

Chris, Do we have a benchmark between the nvidia open source vs close source, also we might need to build two versions one of HPC sig and one for drivers sig
Scott, is there any plans to supports xcat?

open source out of tree kernel drivers should be in the SIG kernel as long as they are generic and then any performance enhanced one in the SIG HPC
