• Discussed v4.3.4 GA release requirements
  • Must work on ppc (Chris M reported segfault of ldmsd when using ldms_ls)
    • Tom Tucker tried to reproduce on Sandia's Vortex machine and couldn't -- thinks Chris had some old libraries -- TBD
  • libfabric transport must work
    • Ben A believes that per-connection data structures are being leaked (so says valgrind) but will re-test with latest to be sure
      • Will test on both OmniPath and Mellanox Connectx-5
  • Must work on Cray XC CLE-7
    • OGC will test latest on Voltrino
• Relocation of authentication plugins deferred to next release
• Ben A suggests config language addition of hostlist support for aggs and samplers
  • Tom suggests inspecting 'Distributed LDMSD' use
• PIP build dependencies
  • Consensus: don't require this
  • In general, avoid EPEL/PIP/other non-vendor dependencies is preferred. For RHEL7 Server, software collections provide newer pythons.
    • Chris M. has open ticket for adding new python/cython to TOSS3.
