Add basic config for Isambard #1

Open tomgreen66 opened 4 years ago

tomgreen66 commented 4 years ago

Need the basic setup to make installing packages understandable.

Rationale

Need a basic configuration for Isambard to start evaluating as a software manager tool for researchers.

Description

We should create the basic setup for the ThunderX2 system to evaluate. We have a choice of separate Spack installs or try and keep all configuration in the same location. Use of targets and platform dependent configuration files should support multiple systems but might get complicated. Focus on 1 for now.

Additional information

Had personal version working. Need to transfer over some of the setting. Currently using:

$ spack --version
0.15.4-976-49512e21a

General information

Not 100% sure how to manage spack configuration files. It seems best to store in another repository and symlink them into Spack installation. Spack repository ignores the etc/spack directory with .gitignore. See spack-configs - especially gw4-isambard/spack-configs#1
