USIT (with thomas<br> in the lead) is organizing a national workshop on future AI and<br> machine learning support, which is part of their push towards a<br> national infrastructure project in this area. i will present briefly<br> on behalf of our local group and NLPL.<br> <br> which probably means we will be unable to convene the infrastructure<br> task force before the steering group meeting next week? i could be<br> available 11:00–12:00 next tuesday, but i also see no need to very try<br> hard to meet before the steering group. although, it might be useful,<br> of course, to exchange views among us four on the current state of the<br> infrastructure ... if not that time, next wednesday 13:00–14:30 or<br> almost any time on friday (september 14) might work for me.<br> <br> regarding deep learning support on Abel, i have rationalized<br> inactivity since the announcement before the summer that Abel shall<br> have its operating system upgraded this fall. presumably, that move<br> should take away some of the hardship in installing e.g. TensorFlow.<br> <br> however, i have recently managed to put a working TensorFlow<br> installation on Abel (following some internet advice). it turned out<br> not that difficult, after all. i had to compile a suitable version of<br> glibc and then arrange for the corresponding version of the dynamic<br> linker to wrap itself around the python binary and adjust<br> LD_LIBRARY_PATH appropriately. once i had put the pieces together,<br> this is relatively straightforward and might well work for other<br> packages too that have in the past seemed hard to install on Abel<br> natively. i have started to write up the recipe on the NLPL wiki and<br> plan on making an announcement to the ‘team’ mailing list before too<br> long.<br> <br> if you are curious, please see below<br> ‘/projects/nlpl/software/inf-5820/2018/’ (i initially did this<br> installation for a class i am teaching this semester).<br> <br> more soon; best wishes, oe<br> <br> <br> On Tue, Sep 4, 2018 at 5:37 PM, Martin Matthiesen<br> <<a href="mailto:martin.matthiesen@csc.fi" target="_blank">martin.matthiesen@csc.fi</a>> wrote:<br> <blockquote type="cite">Hello Bjørn and all,<br> <br> We all seem to be busy, should we meet the coming Friday 7.9.
