PROFILE
Laren Spear
During a two-month period, Laren Spear developed and maintained core infrastructure for large-scale weather modeling within the spack/spack-packages repository. Laren introduced the ERF Large-Scale Weather Modeling Package, focusing on deployment reproducibility and maintainability by integrating AMReX and replacing submodules to streamline dependency management. Using CMake, CUDA, and Python, Laren established foundational package functionality with GCC support and laid the groundwork for future features such as radiation modeling and additional dependencies. In January 2026, Laren expanded version coverage by adding support for Erf 26.01, improving reproducibility and installation workflows for downstream users who rely on the Spack package manager.
