This pull request adds the Q1 2026 status report entry for the ongoing FreeBSD HPC Ports Modernization initiative.
The report summarizes progress made during the quarter expanding the HPC ecosystem available in the FreeBSD Ports Collection and improving interoperability between modern HPC runtime components.
Highlights
sysutils/slurm-wlm, confirming successful job scheduling and execution on recent versions with a minimal patchset.net/ucx, providing the Unified Communication X framework used by modern MPI implementations.benchmarks/py-reframe-hpc, enabling HPC regression testing workflows.net/openmpi,net/ucx,net/pmix, andnet/prrte.Ongoing work
sysutils/mpifileutilsand its dependency stack (libcircle,lwgrp, etc.).Future direction
Planned work includes expanding the available HPC tooling in ports and documenting a reference Slurm + OpenMPI + PMIx + PRRTE + UCX deployment on FreeBSD to lower the barrier for experimenting with HPC workloads on the platform.
