 ius | Well, patching the assert out works for me 🤷♂️ | 22:36:24 |

| ius | Zhaofeng Li: I've built some more and see similar wonkyness in aws-common-c and llvm tests - are you running those tests & are they okay for you using binfmt? | 19:26:33 |
| ius | I'm confused how all these tests suggest it's extremely broken, yet the toolchain seems fine | 19:31:33 |
| ius | 43% tests passed, 222 tests failed out of 389 | 19:34:31 |
 Zhaofeng Li | For aws-c-common, see https://github.com/zhaofengli/nixpkgs/commit/4f80543ea818b0e833756619d8484d245ec7477a and https://github.com/awslabs/aws-c-common/pull/873 | 19:36:09 |
| Zhaofeng Li | And for LLVM, the tests need to be disabled for the time being. Some of the issues are being tracked upstream. | 19:36:58 |
| ius | Thanks, again | 23:39:30 |

Zhaofeng Li: re binfmt builds, have you run into any qemu issues? boehm-gcs testsuite seems to ~reliably cause qemu-user to disintegrate Ok, I just rebased my branch against master and can confirm that I see the same thing | 02:12:44 |
| ius | Let me know if you figure out why, otherwise I might look at it (maybe in a bit) | 17:38:34 |

 Corbin | Does anybody use NixOS for (what might justifiably be called) a Beowulf cluster, and are there docs? This is more out of curiosity than a serious intent to build stuff. | 19:37:19 |
| Zhaofeng Li | The cluster itself is easy, what isn't easy is what you are planning to run on it. Some usecases involve clunky grid scheduling systems or some other daemon running on each node. | 19:39:14 |
| Corbin | That's true. I was thinking mostly about the pooling of RAM and CPUs. Are there any non-clunky schedulers in nixpkgs? | 19:49:34 |
| Zhaofeng Li | I think you may want to look into container orchestrators like Kubernetes and Nomad | 19:51:56 |
| Corbin | Oh, of course; k8s is my standard platform for building stuff, and lately I'm trying out k3s. I'm curious about what options we have for Beowulfing it up instead. | 19:59:47 |
| Zhaofeng Li | There is no "instead" - You can use k8s to schedule work on your beowulf cluster. If you are specifically looking for something more "sciency" there is slurm and singularity but my limited experience isn't positive. | 20:05:06 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Anyways, I don't think this is on-topic for this room. | 20:05:13 |

| Zhaofeng Li | Anyone running powerpc 32-bit? What's the status of support in nixpkgs, and do you have any downstream patches? | 21:16:58 |
 Ryan Burns | current support level is cross compilation only, but even less so than 64 bit because afaik no one has run it natively | 22:03:03 |
| Ryan Burns | ive been able to run nix built 32 bit executables on same-endian 64 bit machines but thats about as far as ive gone | 22:03:33 |
