Mar 1, 2026March 2026 performance summary for cp2k/cp2k focused on robust installation/packaging, toolchain stability, testing CI reliability, and codebase modernization. Delivered Docker-based pre-built bundles and packaging tooling cleanup; enhanced install workflows with libint bundle scripts and automatic ScalaPACK retrieval, while removing legacy tooling. Strengthened stability and compatibility across toolchains and test environments, including reverting to ELPA 2024.05.001 to address CUDA issues and adding safeguards to abort when an analytical stress tensor is requested. Modernized the testing framework and CI: improved test structure, nested/test-dir handling, assertion against infinite recursion, and expanded CI resource allocations plus Python 3.8 compatibility fixes. Cleaned up and modernized the codebase: removed PACKAGE files, updated conventions, and fixed dashboard references. Improved documentation accuracy with corrected references and broken links. Overall, these efforts reduce environment-related risk, accelerate onboarding and feature delivery, and strengthen reproducibility and reliability across build, test, and run-time environments.

Jan 1, 2026During 2026-01, CP2K development delivered notable CI, toolchain, and test stability improvements that enhance build reliability, reproducibility, and performance. Key features include adding a Spack OpenMPI tester to CI, enabling download of all packages from cp2k.org, and switching tblite installation to .tar.xz, reducing external dependencies and improving reproducibility. Major Docker/workflow improvements stabilized test runs by re-enabling keepalive and low flags, fixing Ubuntu-based tests, and adding benchmark plotting for visibility into performance. Testing and performance gains were achieved by adjusting tolerances for several inputs, fixing slow tests, and building DBCSR with libxsmm, contributing to faster and more stable benchmarks. Governance and maintenance improvements included suppressions for tblite, removal of a defunct CMake option, and updating references to the 2026 version, supporting longer-term stability and easier maintenance.
