Guix-HPC Activity Report 2019–2020

Guix-HPC is a collaborative effort to bring reproducible software deployment to scientific workflows and high-performance computing (HPC). Guix-HPC builds upon the GNU Guix software deployment tool and aims to make it a better tool for HPC practitioners and scientists concerned with reproducible research. Guix-HPC was launched in September 2017 as a joint software development project involving three research institutes: Inria, the Max Delbruck Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC), and the Utrecht Bioinformatics Center (UBC). GNU Guix for HPC and reproducible science has received contributions from additional individuals and organizations, including Cray, Inc. and Tourbillion Technology. This report highlights key achievements of Guix-HPC between its launch date in September 2017 and today, February 2019.
