During a focused month of development, Paludetto Mag upgraded the Hypre library within the GEOS-DEV/thirdPartyLibs repository, modernizing the build system and reducing technical debt. Leveraging expertise in C, CMake, and scripting, Paludetto refactored the update script to automate fetching and checksumming the new Hypre release, while also updating CMakeLists.txt and Spack configurations. The work included removing outdated memory-tracking patches and deprecated GMRES references, as well as addressing a corner-case in hypre_ParVectorSetValuesTagged to improve numerical stability. These changes resulted in more reliable builds, streamlined downstream integration, and a reduced maintenance burden for future development.
