 OpenHPC and CentOS and so OpenHPC was already mentioned a few times today and it's a community based effort providing software and documentation and one of the, from my point of view, important things of OpenHPC is that it supports building blocks so you don't have to take the whole package set and all the things they provide you can just pick out certain building blocks you need for your setup and I wanted to make sure that you can actually not use the binary packages from OpenHPC but you can also use the source code to rebuild the packages and that's why I've tried to rebuild the OpenHPC packages in the CentOS build system so I was using OpenHPC as an upstream for this downstream effort I have been doing and the background of this was we created a high performance computing special interest group in CentOS in April 2017 and the group of people interested in high performance computing on CentOS and right now the main focus is OpenHPC and how to include it and the reason why we are doing this at all is once to make sure that we can rebuild it outside of the existing build system we're using the CentOS build system to rebuild the packages and we are using all architectures and the CentOS build system provider so we are rebuilding the packages on ARM on Intel and on PowerPC and we are using the existing CI infrastructure to make sure that it actually works and one of the additional goals is like ARM is doing with their compiler we are trying to use the existing compilers provided by CentOS so it's the GCC 6 and 7 based software collection packages so we want to reduce the so we want to reuse existing packages as much as possible to make sure that differences between the packages built by the operating system and by OpenHPC are small and that there are no effects between if we're using packages from outside and we are also trying to use the existing MPI libraries and the different scientific libraries to see how that works out and I'm already at the end yeah any questions? Microphone? Alright let's do it let's do the right way so I'm Jan Fischer I'm with Red Hat's product marketing organization and as I mentioned not to crash any parties here or you know take take thunder away from our colleague we just figured we're gonna give you a quick intro to a product that we happened to launch this morning and kind of highlight the the long journey that we've been on with some of our partners here in the room and elsewhere in the industry so John Masters who doesn't need an introduction here in the circles will lead us down that way but I just wanted to say kind of clap with my hand holding the mic but John has been personally responsible for the majority of the success and majority of the implementations within Red Hat and so he definitely deserves a round of applause here too thank you thank you yeah yeah yeah just a quick note so we did we did launch RHEL this morning for the ARM architecture and I just want to give you this highlight slide I don't think we'll take too much time on it but we had an announcement with HPE this morning their Apollo 70 system and the highlight for you is that it's feature parity with other architectures and it's available now so it's no longer in development preview it's been a wild ride for the last seven years but who's counting and what we look forward to doing over the next few years is building the stack beyond what we have here so if you'd like to talk about RHEL on ARM and our exciting plans for where we're gonna go then then please come find us I will leave you with one more slide here I can read today I don't have my glasses with me so this is just a timeline of some of the things that we've done over the past few years and you can see it's been a long journey and it's a journey that we plan to continue for many years yet to come thank you if you got you got questions open HPC we can get Adrian to ask to answer if you would like to talk about what we're doing with HP we'd be happy to HPE we'd be happy to comment on that where we can and yeah I guess we could take a couple of questions or find us on the floor is everything great everything works wonderfully is there anything okay how about this question for you guys right is there anything that we are not doing today in RHEL on ARM that you would like to see us doing or are there suggestions you have going forward again everything's great everybody thought that was coming good all right very good all right well thank you again yeah
