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.
