CachyOS High Performance Computing

Hello everybody,

I’m going to write a book about using Fortran and Julia programming for high performance computing (HPC).

Due to the small size of Fortran and Julia softwares, is it possible to include these two languages in your next release by default that I can offer my future book reader to use cachyOS while reading my book?

Thank you.

Hi :slight_smile:

Sounds very cool!

Pushing Julia and Fortan into the ISO itself just increases the ISO download size, while not really providing a value for most users, outside of 200MB+ download size. Julia has its own “llvm-julia”, which is a complete own llvm suite, and therefore takes a lot of space.

You can do after the installation, or on the ISO (not suggested):
sudo pacman -S julia gcc-fortran

This will install the two required language eand compilers.
