I am capturing some notes that @staticfloat wrote in an email exchange. It would be a good idea to clean these up a bit and capture them somewhere. Is the dev docs section in the manual the right place?

@DilumAluthge may be the right person to know where this should live.

Current implementation of join can be improved by performing the operation in a single call to the backend kernel instead of multiple calls.

This is a fairly easy kernel and may be a good issue for someone getting to know CUDA/ArrayFire internals. Ping me if you want additional info.

Currently spack does not support the following packages, all of these packages are installed outside of Spack at Cori, we would like to get support for these packages if possible.

• ComputeCPP https://github.com/codeplaysoftware/computecpp-sdk need to confirm link

Version of Singularity:

3.0.3

Expected behavior

Some progress or update information during the creation of the SIF file.

Actual behavior

During "Creating SIF file..." step, the console does not produce any visible output for the user - but does create the resulting file eventually.

Steps to reproduce behavior

I was executing a few “larger” builds through the bui

What would you like to be added:

Currently, there are few materials about job plugins(ssh/env/svc) such as scenarios, design and usages, expecially about the available parameters in these plugins.

Why is this needed:

We've got a lot of feedback about how to use the job plugins.

In order to test manually altered IR, it would be nice to have a --skip-compilation flag for futhark test, just like we do for futhark bench.

The documentation for the function shmem_wait seems inconsistent with the function signatures as it describes parameters target, pe, and value that are actually not part of the interface. The parameter ivar is described but at least in the C interface the variable is named var (without the prefix i).

See https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/blob/master/oshmem/shmem/man/man3/shmem_wai

Hello,

In version 7.1.0, runtime.dat no longer functions to stop the job using "OUTER_ITER=", "EXT_ITER=", or "TIME=". Did the parameter change?

Add the appropriate libncurses package name for each supported distro. This is commonly named libncurses5.

The envml tool that ends up in Modules/bin/ seems quite useful but does not show up in the documentation (apart from the Release Notes: https://modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/NEWS.html?highlight=envml).
