* Added hash values for LBANN v0.101 and Hydrogen v1.5.0. Updated the LBANN package to be more successful in resolving a legal configuration of MPI and HWLOC packages. This required the removal of the MPI virtual package since it is unable to resolve dependencies with minimum version requirements. As a result to enable a reasonable install line for LBANN this requires explicit forwarding of MPI variants to Hydrogen and Aluminum. Due to the lack of variant forwarding, there are many explicitly replicated dependencies for both LBANN and Hydrogen. Fixed the error in LBANN where gpu variant was replaced by the cuda variant, but not all dependencies were fixed. * Fixed the minumum cuDNN version for newer versions of LBANN. * Added explicit versioning of the MPI libraries for DiHydrogen to avoid all of the conflicts with minimum required versions of the OpenMPI library. * Removed explicit MPI versions and went back to using the MPI virtual dependency. Updated construction of variant forwarding to use iterative construction of constraints and variants. This exacerbates the challenges with backtracking in the current concretizer, but should be fixed in the new concretizer. * Added support for including the DiHydrogen library in LBANN as well as support for the distributed convolution (DistConv) parallel algorithms. Also include support for building with half precision. * Moving dependencies around * Added conflict statement to ensure that the variant dihydrogen is required for distconv. * Removed the preferred field * Fixed Flake8 and cuDNN version bounds |

Spack
Spack is a multi-platform package manager that builds and installs multiple versions and configurations of software. It works on Linux, macOS, and many supercomputers. Spack is non-destructive: installing a new version of a package does not break existing installations, so many configurations of the same package can coexist.
Spack offers a simple "spec" syntax that allows users to specify versions and configuration options. Package files are written in pure Python, and specs allow package authors to write a single script for many different builds of the same package. With Spack, you can build your software all the ways you want to.
See the Feature Overview for examples and highlights.
To install spack and your first package, make sure you have Python. Then:
$ git clone https://github.com/spack/spack.git
$ cd spack/bin
$ ./spack install zlib
Documentation
Full documentation is available, or
run spack help or spack help --all.
Tutorial
We maintain a hands-on tutorial. It covers basic to advanced usage, packaging, developer features, and large HPC deployments. You can do all of the exercises on your own laptop using a Docker container.
Feel free to use these materials to teach users at your organization about Spack.
Community
Spack is an open source project. Questions, discussion, and contributions are welcome. Contributions can be anything from new packages to bugfixes, documentation, or even new core features.

- Slack workspace: spackpm.slack.com. To get an invitation, click here.
- Mailing list: groups.google.com/d/forum/spack
- Twitter: @spackpm. Be sure to
@mentionus!
Contributing
Contributing to Spack is relatively easy. Just send us a
pull request.
When you send your request, make develop the destination branch on the
Spack repository.
Your PR must pass Spack's unit tests and documentation tests, and must be PEP 8 compliant. We enforce these guidelines with our CI process. To run these tests locally, and for helpful tips on git, see our Contribution Guide.
Spack's develop branch has the latest contributions. Pull requests
should target develop, and users who want the latest package versions,
features, etc. can use develop.
Releases
For multi-user site deployments or other use cases that need very stable software installations, we recommend using Spack's stable releases.
Each Spack release series also has a corresponding branch, e.g.
releases/v0.14 has 0.14.x versions of Spack, and releases/v0.13 has
0.13.x versions. We backport important bug fixes to these branches but
we do not advance the package versions or make other changes that would
change the way Spack concretizes dependencies within a release branch.
So, you can base your Spack deployment on a release branch and git pull
to get fixes, without the package churn that comes with develop.
The latest release is always available with the releases/latest tag.
See the docs on releases for more details.
