Kokkos User Support Infrastructure WBS STPM12 Milestone 2

Trott, Christian R.; Lopez, Graham; Shipman, Galen

This report documents the completion of milestone STPM12-2 Kokkos User Support Infrastructure. The goal of this milestone was to develop and deploy an initial Kokkos support infrastructure, which facilitates communication and growth of the user community, adds a central place for user documentation and manages access to technical experts. Multiple possible support infrastructure venues were considered and a solution was put into place by Q1 of FY 18 consisting of (1) a Wiki programming guide, (2) github issues and projects for development planning and bug tracking and (3) a “Slack” channel for low latency support communications with the Kokkos user community. Furthermore, the desirability of a cloud based training infrastructure was recognized and put in place in order to support training events.
