Mentorship Program Call for Participation Summer 2022
OpenHPC was formed with the motivation to more efficiently build, test, deliver and configure integrated HPC software components and tools. Launched initially in November 2015, and formalized as a collaborative Linux Foundation project in June 2016, OpenHPC currently has over 35 members from academia, research labs, and industry. To date, the OpenHPC software stack aggregates a variety of software components ranging from administrative tools like bare-metal provisioning and resource management to end-user development libraries that span a range of scientific/numerical uses. OpenHPC adopts a familiar package repository delivery model and provides builds for multiple Linux distributions and architectures.
