Topic: "Make: obsolete or elegant?"Speaker: Mark Hahn, SHARCNETVideo link --- Make is a classic Unix development tool, which may seem archaic and narrow-purpose.  But if you think of it as a declarative, parallelized workflow automation tool, it sounds more relevant.  We'll consider stereotypical use of make, then its general properties, and show some interesting examples of make applied to unusual uses.---The Compute Ontario Colloquia are weekly Zoom presentations on Advanced Research Computing, High Performance Computing, Research Data Management, and Research Software topics, delivered by staff from three Compute Ontario consortia (CAC, SciNet, SHARCNET) and guest speakers. The series began January 2023 and superseded similar series previously delivered by individual consortia (e.g. General Interest Seminars by SHARCNET or User Group Meeting TechTalks by SciNet). The colloquia are one hour long and include time for questions. No registration is required. Presentations are usually recorded and uploaded to the hosting consortium video channel (colloquia hosted by SHARCNET go to our youtube channel).
