Agenda

• Nick: interest in RISC5, some success with Spack
  • Bootstrapping generally causes problems (some difficulty replicating on x86 systems)
  • On SiFive
  • Max: no clingo pre-built binaries for SiFive, so we'd minimally need a c++14-capable compiler (e.g. later gcc version)
    • Nick: was using gcc 11 (Max: this should be fine)
  • Max: it would be helpful to run spack -d bootstrap now to get error messages
  • Max: recalled trying Spack on BSC's SiFive cluster with success
• Dom: ping on https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/38496
  • Was having buildcache creation failures
  • Originally behavior was fail-fast
  • Proposed behavior is to do best-effort with an option to --fail-fast
