Though I would separate this task from QA-work on Debian Science
packages.
I support that this is a separate idea. If you ask me it should
be ranked even higher.
If you want, we could apply one-more project (something
like HPC-testing of MPI-based science packages) and point special
requirements for possible applicants. Feel free to propose a text
for that. Thanks again!
I'd look forward to such a project but my capacity to become involved
is
limited and I also need to admit that I have no real competence if it
comes to HPC and MPI questions.
We can share the load, you can provide back-up supervision if I'm
offline camping during summer :)
What I'm envisioning shouldn't require MPI programming as such. It's
more about setting up a test management system to get the MPI programs
to test themselves. Shell scripting as much as anything, maybe python
for extracting numbers from output files.
