Reproducible Packaging
- Tomas Stary (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)
Software development and research are naturally driven by different incentives. While the main aim of software development should be the generation of a robust and easily maintainable product, the daily life of a researcher is dominated by the quest for insightful analysis results and publication deadlines.
We present an approach to solving those conflicting incentives through...
Ensuring the reproducibility of scientific software is crucial for the advancement of research and the validation of scientific findings.
However, achieving reproducibility in software-intensive scientific projects is often challenging due to dependencies, system configurations and software environments.
In this paper, we present a possible solution for these challenges by utilizing Nix...
The European Environment for Scientific Software Installations (EESSI, pronounced as "easy") is a collaboration between different European HPC sites and industry partners, with the common goal to set up a shared stack of optimized scientific software installations.
It can be used on a variety of systems, regardless of the operating system, processor architecture, or GPU of the client system,...
By default languages like R and Python load packages/modules from a system-wide package environment. Thus all projects use the same package versions which makes it hard to track which package versions were used for a specific project, and using different package versions for separate projects becomes impossible. Package updates which are required for one project may break other projects. These...
