Aalto science-build-configs

This repository containes instructions that are given to a CI system defined in science-build-rules. The configs are read by build rules that then go through the builds.

Spack flow of configurations

Spack is configured in configs/*/spack/build_config.yaml. The bottom sections of these files should be (essentially) exactly the same. The top sections will vary depending on the deployments on Triton, Aalto workstations, and so on.

Installation paths, defaults for packages and modules and other spack related configuration parameters are set in Spack's site configs config.yaml, packages.yaml and modules.yaml. Deployment strategy is described in deployment_config.yaml.

All of these configs need to be kept in sync, and for that we have a system where packages are first added to Triton, and then the config is slowly synced to all configurations (otherwise it would become unmanageable). This happens in the numerical order you see below (1 → 2 → 3).

The very first thing everything is added and tested is fgci-centos7-anaconda-dev/, and proceeds from there to all of the other configs in numerical order. Note that it's not a linear process:

• 1. fgci-centos7-haswell-dev/
• 2. fgci-centos7-haswell/

After fgci-centos7-dev/, things can be propagated to Aalto workstations:

• 3. aalto-ubuntu2004-skylake-dev/
• 4. aalto-ubuntu2004-skylake/

Anaconda flow of configuration

anaconda is configured in configs/*/anaconda/build_config.yaml. The bottom sections of these files should be (essentially) exactly the same. The top sections will vary depending on the deployments on Triton, Aalto workstations, and so on.

Installation paths are set in config.yaml and deployment strategy is described in deployment_config.yaml.

Singularity flow of configuration

Singularity builder is currently disabled. It will be restarted soon.
