+title: "The Spack Package Manager: Bringing Order to HPC Software Chaos"
+abstract: >-
+ Large HPC centers spend considerable time supporting software for thousands of users, but the complexity of HPC software is quickly outpacing the capabilities of existing software management tools.
+ Scientific applications require specific versions of compilers, MPI, and other dependency libraries, so using a single, standard software stack is infeasible.
+ However, managing many configurations is difficult because the configuration space is combinatorial in size.
+ We introduce Spack, a tool used at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to manage this complexity.
+ Spack provides a novel, re- cursive specification syntax to invoke parametric builds of packages and dependencies.
+ It allows any number of builds to coexist on the same system, and it ensures that installed packages can find their dependencies, regardless of the environment.
+ We show through real-world use cases that Spack supports diverse and demanding applications, bringing order to HPC software chaos.
