Concise monthly summary for 2025-10: NeoFOAM CI/CD and documentation were enhanced to boost reliability, maintainability, and developer velocity. Key features delivered include reorganizing CI scripts for LRZ GitLab CI and GitHub CI into clearly named directories, adding a basic CI smoke test to validate pipeline execution, optimizing Ginkgo dependency handling by preferring system-installed Ginkgo and using pre-installed Docker images for LRZ GitLab CI and AMD GPU CI with GPU-architecture-specific tags, and consolidating and refining CI/NeoN integration documentation. Additional updates covered GPU support documentation and build/docs formatting, plus a policy change requiring PRs to main before documentation updates are published. Major bugs fixed: none explicitly reported; CI stability and clarity were improved through these changes. Overall impact: faster, more reliable CI feedback loops, easier onboarding for new contributors, and clearer guidance for GPU-enabled NeoN deployments. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Bash scripting and CI script organization, Docker and GPU-aware images, CMake/Ginkgo integration, NeoN CI workflows, and comprehensive documentation practices.

September 2025 performance summary for exasim-project/NeoFOAM. Delivered end-to-end cross-repo CI automation and performance tooling enhancements across NeoN, FoamAdapter, and LRZ GitLab ecosystems. Implemented triggering of FoamAdapter CI from NeoN CI with a streamlined single-line trigger script, correct branch targeting, and runner assignment. Introduced a benchmarking workflow with machine-targeted configuration, system-info capture, and data push to external repos, plus PR skip optimization for Ubuntu builds. Unified CI orchestration across FoamAdapter LRZ, NeoN LRZ, and LRZ GitLab CI, including workflow_run dependencies, dynamic branch/commit propagation, and GitHub reporting of results. Expanded GPU CI capabilities (NVIDIA/AMD) with environment prep and toolchain adjustments (HIPCC, ROCm paths) and improved GPU-specific handling. Strengthened CI reliability and maintainability through gating rules (Skip-build), URL encoding, deduplication to prevent duplicate pipelines, and refactored scripts using reusable GitLab CI extends patterns. These changes reduced cycle times, improved feedback reliability, and enhanced data quality for performance optimization.
