Resolve "Support Spack and others"

Marc Vef requested to merge marc/58-support-spack-and-others into master

Usage information

Download Spack and setup environment:

git clone -c feature.manyFiles=true https://github.com/spack/spack.git
. spack/share/spack/setup-env.sh

Add GekkoFS Spack repository to Spack:

spack repo add gekkofs/scripts/spack

Check that Spack can find GekkoFS:

spack info gekkofs

Install GekkoFS (and run optional tests). Check spack info gekkofs for available option and versions:

spack install gekkofs
# for installing tests dependencies and running tests
spack install -v --test=root gekkofs +tests

Load GekkoFS into environment:

spack load gekkofs

If you want to use the latest developer branch of GekkoFS:

spack install gekkofs@latest

The default is using version 0.9.1 the last stable release.

TODO

  • Base Spack functionality, versions, and configuration support
  • Documentation
  • Advanced functionality, more detailed configuration support, e.g., Parallax and Prometheus
  • More easy way to get path to client library
  • Add GekkoFS client wrapper for LD_PRELOAD
  • Add final version to main Spack repository if possible. (Not possible right now as it not clear how 3rd party libraries should be treated.

Closes #58 (closed)
