Spack is the Supercomputing Package manager tool developed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) to manage the combinatorial complexity of scientific software[3]. Spack allows users to compose packages parameterized by version, platform, compiler, options, and dependency packages using a specification syntax or spec. An installed spec is available as an environmental module that can be loaded and unloaded as part of a traditional high-performance computing (HPC) workflow. Unlike environmental modules traditionally created by system administrators, however, Spack ensures reproducibility by storing all package recipes used to build the software, including output build logs and environment files. Additionally, users can set up Spack simply by cloning the Spack Git repository and therefore need not rely on an existing, shared Spack installation.
