This is a repository to contain examples of using build tools on various systems.
Focusses initially on Spack.
As an example for osu-micro-benchmarks on Isambard-AI checkout this repository
$ cd apps/osu-micro-benchmarks/aip1
$ ./build.shThis will use an Spack environment which can be activated to run the software.
The config directory has the Spack config that is included by the build script.
The repo directory contains Spack packages which were either modified from existing packages or completely new.
build.sh downloads its own version of Spack. If an existing version of Spack is available the script can be modified to use the existing version. This can help with sharing already installed dependencies between different packages.
