Event

<p>A few years ago, the <a href="https://eessi.io/">European Environment for Scientific Software Installations</a> (EESSI) was <a href="https://archive.fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/eessi/">introduced at FOSDEM</a> as a pilot project for improving software distribution and deployment everywhere, from HPC environments, to cloud environments or even a personal workstation or a Raspberry Pi . Since then, it has gained wide adoption across <a href="https://eessi.io/docs/systems/">dozens of HPC systems</a> in Europe, being installed natively in EuroHPC systems and becoming a component within the <a href="https://my-eurohpc.eu/">EuroHPC Federation Platform</a>. </p> <p>This session will highlight the progress EESSI has made, including the addition of new <a href="https://www.eessi.io/docs/software_layer/cpu_targets/">CPU</a> and <a href="https://www.eessi.io/docs/software_layer/gpu_targets/">GPU</a> targets, with broader support for modern computing technologies and much <a href="https://www.eessi.io/docs/available_software/overview">more software</a>, featuring 600+ unique software projects (or over 3500 if you count individual Python packages and R libraries that are included) shipped with it. EESSI's capabilities have expanded significantly, turning it into a key service for managing and deploying software across a wide range of infrastructures.</p> <p>We will provide an overview of the current status of EESSI, focusing on its new capabilities, the integration with tools like <a href="https://spack.io/">Spack</a> and <a href="https://www.openondemand.org/">Open OnDemand</a>, as well as its growing software ecosystem. Through a live hands-on demo, we will showcase how EESSI is being used in real-world HPC environments and cloud systems, and discuss the future direction of the platform. Looking ahead, we will cover upcoming features and improvements that will continue to make EESSI a solid enabler for HPC software management in Europe and beyond.</p>
