Dear Ondrej at al,
Good to read such an email. The initiative is very needed. HPC infrastructure and environment is very specific and there's no need to have HPC SW in RPM packages. I do not want to go too much into details. It would be a long email. Anyway I'm responsible for production/operations of national HPC clusters here in Ostrava. So near to Brno. I'd like to invite you all to visit us. So we can explain you the needs of HPC. How we run the services. What we need from OS. How we distribute the software for end-users within the clusters.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon. DH

Hi,
I would like to propose start of High performance computing (HPC) SIG. I see it already mentioned on https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup among Future SIGs. Primary reason for the SIG existence will be to improve the state of High performance computing related packages on CentOS and similar distributions, with special focus on stability of builds, CentOS (and similar distribution) related improvements for OpenHPC project and getting new HPC packages packaged for CentOS and/or Fedora.
Initial members would be me (ovasik@redhat.com, CentOS FAS account: Reset), Adrian Reber (areber@redhat.com, CentOS FAS account: areber), Stanislav Kozina (skozina@redhat.com, CentOS FAS account: ersin) and Jan Chaloupka (jchaloup@fedoraproject.org, CentOS FAS account: jchaloup). Of course, anyone is welcome to join.
Thanks in advance for approving/sponsoring the SIG.
Regards, Ondrej Vasik
