EasyBuild and Spack fetch the source and build locally. Do you mean Python packages that are not open-source?

We are excited to announce the Call for Participation for the Package Managers devroom at @fosdem 2026, taking place on Saturday, 31st January 2026 at the Université libre de Bruxelles, Belgium. Submission deadline: 1st December 2025 The Free and Open Source community has built dozens of package managers across operating systems (Debian's APT, Fedora's DNF, Arch's pacman, Nix, Guix), programming language ecosystems (PyPI/pip/uv, npm, Cargo, RubyGems, Conda, Pixi), domain-specific tools (Spack, EasyBuild for HPC), and universal formats (Flatpak, Snap, AppImage). Each has made unique trade-offs and innovations. This devroom provides a gathering place for maintainers, researchers, and users of package managers to discuss lessons learned, new developments, and common infrastructure challenges. It's a neutral forum where different communities can meet, exchange ideas, and foster collaboration on universal issues. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submit your proposal through the FOSDEM pretalx system: pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-20…

Engineering Supercomputing Platforms for Biomolecular Applications １．This extensive benchmarking study reveals that Nvidia's GH200 “Grace Hopper” superchip delivers an order of magnitude better molecular dynamics (MD) performance than its predecessor, the V100, across all tested software — including NAMD, GROMACS, AMBER, LAMMPS, and OpenMM — while also being more energy-efficient. ２．While AMD's MI250X GPUs offer competitive raw performance at lower cost, their ROCm software ecosystem is still immature, requiring more developer effort and resulting in compatibility issues for some major MD codes like OpenMM and partial LAMMPS support. ３．The authors stress that raw FLOPS no longer reflect real-world performance. Instead, matching hardware and software to the specific needs of biomolecular methods — MD, quantum chemistry (QC), electron microscopy (EM), and coarse-grained MD — is key to maximizing efficiency and usability. ４．Single-GPU execution remains optimal for most MD workloads. Jobs run faster and more efficiently when parallelized into many independent tasks on single GPUs rather than scaling to multi-node executions, which can triple energy use per nanosecond of simulation. ５．Multi-instance GPU (MIG) capabilities in Nvidia's A100 allow multiple MD simulations to run in parallel on a single GPU without performance loss. AMBER showed strong scaling up to 28 replicas, while GROMACS suffered from CPU contention, limiting its scalability. ６．The report highlights severe performance and compatibility issues when deploying Cryo-EM pipelines (e.g., RELION) on traditional HPC systems. These include software instability, MPI configuration problems, and tight storage limits (e.g., 500 GB quota vs. average 2.5 TB dataset). ７．Quantum chemistry benchmarks using Psi4 showed GH200 CPUs excel in simple basis sets, but face instability with more complex configurations. Memory bandwidth and CPU architecture significantly influence performance in CCSD calculations. ８．Energy efficiency is a central theme: GPUs are more efficient than CPUs for MD, but excessive node scaling harms power efficiency. Even efficient hardware needs software optimized for energy-aware execution. ９．Coarse-grained MD (CGMD) remains underutilized on HPC due to limited software support. Many models rely on homegrown code that lacks portability and scalability, posing barriers to broader adoption unless integrated into major MD frameworks. １０．The authors argue that sustainable HPC must be seen as a people problem. Expertise in DevOps, better system administration, user training, and community-driven consortia (like HECBioSim) are vital to reduce downtime, improve support, and accelerate science. １１．They call for continued and expanded support of the consortium model, especially in preparing for even more complex future hardware (e.g., MI300, Intel GPUs, and Nvidia’s AI-accelerator class CPUs). １２．The report also critiques current HPC queueing and provisioning systems, which reward short, large-scale jobs over long, efficient single-node jobs, thus wasting compute and power. １３．Finally, the authors suggest making the HPC environment more user-friendly through widespread adoption of build frameworks (EasyBuild, Spack), containerization (podman-hpc), and better data transfer/storage solutions. 📜Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2506.15585v1 #HPC #MolecularDynamics #CryoEM #QuantumChemistry #AMD #Nvidia #GH200 #ROCm #EnergyEfficiency #DevOps #HECBioSim
