Some things in our software world are timeless. The venerable
Environment Modules are one of these.
If you’ve ever used a high-performance cluster in the last three
decades, chances are you’re already familiar with it. Modules is about
managing software environments, just like Guix is—or, perhaps more
accurately, guix shell.
Version 1.3.0 of GNU Guix was announced a few days ago. Some 212 people contributed to more than 8,300 commits since version 1.2.0 released in November 2020. This post focuses on important changes for HPC users, admins, and scientific practitioners.
We are pleased to announce Guix-Jupyter 0.2.1, a new release of our Guix-powered Jupyter kernel for self-contained and reproducible notebooks.
Version 1.2.0 of GNU Guix was announced yesterday. Some 200 people contributed more than 10,000 commits since the previous release. This post focuses on important changes for HPC users, admins, and practitioners made since version 1.1.0 was released in April 2020.
Version 1.1.0 of Guix was announced yesterday. As the announcement points out, some 200 people contributed more than 14,000 commits since the previous release. This post focuses on important changes for HPC users, admins, and scientists made since version 1.0.1 was released in May 2019.
Jupyter Notebooks are becoming a key component of the researcher’s toolbox when it comes to sharing and reproducing computational experiments. Jupyter notebooks allow users to not only intermingle a narrative with supporting code in a way reminiscent of literate programming, they also make it easy to interact with the code and, thus, build on the work of each other.
GNU Guix 1.0.0 was released just a few days ago! This is a major milestone for Guix, which has been under development for seven years, with more than 40,000 commits made by 260 people, and no less than 19 “0.x” releases.
Version 0.16.0 of Guix was released yesterday. It’s slated to be the last release before 1.0, and as usual, it brings noteworthy packages and features for HPC and reproducible research.
Version 0.15.0 of Guix was released today. As usual, it brings packages and features that we hope HPC users and sysadmins will enjoy. This release brings us close to our goals for 1.0, so it’s probably one of the last zero-dot-something releases.
Version 0.14.0 of Guix was announced yesterday. In this post we look at the many goodies that made it into Guix during this release cycle.
