HPL 2.3 from netlib compiled against OpenBLAS with a minimal
single-process MPI stub — no MPI package required in the ISO.
Matrix size is auto-sized to 80% of total RAM at runtime.
Build:
- VERSIONS: HPL_VERSION=2.3, HPL_SHA256=32c5c17d…
- build-hpl.sh: downloads HPL + OpenBLAS from Debian 12 repo,
compiles xhpl with a self-contained mpi_stub.c
- build.sh: step 80-hpl, injects xhpl + libopenblas into overlay
Runtime:
- bee-hpl: generates HPL.dat (N auto from /proc/meminfo, NB=256,
P=1 Q=1), runs xhpl, prints standard WR... Gflops output
- platform/hpl.go: RunHPL(), parses WR line → GFlops + PASSED/FAILED
- tasks.go: target "hpl"
- pages.go: LINPACK (HPL) card in validate/stress grid (stress-only)

- bee-gpu-stress.c: remove per-wave cuCtxSynchronize barrier in both
cuBLASLt and PTX hot loops; sync at most once/sec so the GPU queue
stays continuously full — eliminates the CPU↔GPU ping-pong that
prevented reaching full TDP
- sat_fan_stress.go: default SizeMB 0 (auto = 95% VRAM) instead of
hardcoded 64 MB; tiny matrices caused <0.1 ms kernels where CPU
re-queue overhead dominated
- pages.go: move nvidia-targeted-power and nvidia-pulse from Burn →
Validate stress section alongside nvidia-targeted-stress; these are
DCGM pass/fail diagnostics, not sustained burn loads; remove the
Power Delivery / Power Budget card from Burn entirely

- Sample server power (IPMI dcmi) during baseline+steady phases in parallel;
compute delta vs GPU-reported sum; flag ratio < 0.75 as unreliable reporting
- Collect base_graphics_clock_mhz, multiprocessor_count, default_power_limit_w
from nvidia-smi alongside existing GPU info
- Add tops_per_sm_per_ghz efficiency metric (model-agnostic silicon quality signal)
- Flag when enforced power limit is below default TDP by >5%
- Add fp64 profile to bee-gpu-burn worker (CUDA_R_64F, CUBLAS_COMPUTE_64F, min cc 8.0)
- Improve Executive Summary: overall pass count, FAILED GPU finding
- Throttle counters now shown as % of steady window instead of raw microseconds
- bible-local: clock calibration research, H100/H200 spec, real-world GEMM baselines

losetup --replace --direct-io=on fails with EINVAL when the target file
is on tmpfs (/dev/shm), because tmpfs does not support O_DIRECT.
Strip the --direct-io flag from the replace call and downgrade the
verification failure to a warning so boot continues.

Servers with NVIDIA compute GPUs (H100 etc.) have no display output,
so KMS blanks the console. nomodeset disables kernel modesetting and
lets the NVIDIA proprietary driver handle display via Xorg.
KMS variant moved to advanced submenu for cases where it is needed.

- bee-nvidia-load: run insmod in background, poll /proc/devices for
nvidiactl; if GSP init doesn't complete in 90s, kill insmod and retry
with NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0. Handles EBUSY case with clear error.
- Write /run/bee-nvidia-mode (gsp-on/gsp-off/gsp-stuck) for audit layer
- Show GSP mode badge in sidebar: yellow for gsp-off, red for gsp-stuck
- Report NvidiaGSPMode in RuntimeHealth with issue entries
- Simplify GRUB menu: default (KMS+GSP), advanced submenu (GSP=off,
nomodeset, fail-safe), remove load-to-RAM entry
- Add pcmanfm, ristretto, mupdf, mousepad to desktop packages

- Add feh and python3-pil to package list
- Add chroot hook that generates /usr/share/bee/wallpaper.png using PIL:
black background, EASY-BEE box-drawing logo in amber (#f6c90e),
"Hardware Audit LiveCD" subtitle in dim amber — matches motd exactly
- bee-openbox-session: set wallpaper with feh --bg-fill, fall back to
xsetroot -solid black if wallpaper not found

loglevel=6 floods the screen with mpt3sas/scsi/sd informational
messages, hiding systemd service status and bee-boot-status display.
loglevel=3 shows only kernel errors; all messages still go to serial.

- Add bee-boot-status service: shows live service status on tty1 with
ASCII logo before getty, exits when all bee services settle
- Remove lightdm dependency on bee-preflight so GUI starts immediately
without waiting for NVIDIA driver load
- Replace Chromium blank-page problem with /loading spinner page that
polls /api/services and auto-redirects when services are ready; add
"Open app now" override button; use fresh --user-data-dir=/tmp/bee-chrome
- Unify branding: add "Hardware Audit LiveCD" subtitle to GRUB menu,
bee-boot-status (with yellow ASCII logo), and web spinner

Raise loglevel from 3 to 6 (INFO) and add systemd.show_status=1 so
kernel driver messages and systemd [ OK ]/[ FAILED ] lines are visible
during boot instead of showing only a blank cursor.

All final artefacts for a given version now land in one place:
dist/easy-bee-v4.1/
easy-bee-nvidia-v4.1-amd64.iso
easy-bee-nvidia-v4.1-amd64.logs.tar.gz ← log archive
(logs dir deleted after archiving)
- Introduce OUT_DIR="${DIST_DIR}/easy-bee-v${ISO_VERSION_EFFECTIVE}"
- Move LOG_DIR, LOG_ARCHIVE, and ISO_OUT into OUT_DIR
- cleanup_build_log: use dirname(LOG_DIR) as tar -C base so the path is
correct regardless of where OUT_DIR lives; delete LOG_DIR after archiving

- nvidia collector: read pcie.link.gen.current/max from nvidia-smi instead
of sysfs to avoid false Gen1 readings when GPU is in ASPM idle state
- build: remove bee-nccl-gpu-stress from rm -f list so shell script from
overlay is not silently dropped from the ISO
- smoketest: add explicit checks for bee-gpu-burn, bee-john-gpu-stress,
bee-nccl-gpu-stress, all_reduce_perf
- netconf: re-exec via sudo when not root to fix RTNETLINK/resolv.conf errors
- auto/config: reduce loglevel 7→3 to show clean systemd output on boot
- auto/config: blacklist snd_hda_intel and related audio modules (unused on servers)
- package-lists: remove firmware-intel-sound and firmware-amd-graphics from
base list; move firmware-amd-graphics to bee-amd variant only
- bible-local: mark memtest ADR resolved, document working solution

ISO 9660 volume labels allow only A-Z, 0-9, and underscore.
Dashes cause xorriso WARNING on every build.
EASY-BEE-NVIDIA → EASY_BEE_NVIDIA (iso-application keeps dashes, it's UDF).

memtest86+ postinst does not place files in /boot in a live-build chroot
without grub triggers. Added fallback: extract directly from the cached
.deb via dpkg-deb -x, with verbose logging throughout.
Also remove "NVIDIA no MSI-X" from boot menu (premature — root cause unknown).

live-build picks up ALL .list.chroot files in config/package-lists/.
After rsync, bee-nvidia.list.chroot, bee-amd.list.chroot, and
bee-nogpu.list.chroot all end up in BUILD_WORK_DIR — causing lb to
try installing packages from every variant (and leaving version
placeholders unsubstituted in the unused lists).
Fix: after copying bee-${BEE_GPU_VENDOR}.list.chroot → bee-gpu.list.chroot,
delete all other bee-{nvidia,amd,nogpu}.list.chroot from BUILD_WORK_DIR.
Also includes nomsi boot mode changes (bee-nvidia-load + grub.cfg).

- build.sh: add --variant nvidia|amd; separate work dirs per variant
(live-build-work-nvidia / live-build-work-amd); GPU-specific steps
(modules, NCCL, cuBLAS, nccl-tests) run only for nvidia; deb package
cache synced back to shared location after each lb build so second
variant reuses downloaded packages; ISO output named
easy-bee-{variant}-v{ver}-amd64.iso
- build-in-container.sh: add --variant nvidia|amd|all (default: all);
runs build.sh twice in one container for 'all'; --clean-build wipes
both variant work dirs
- package-lists: remove GPU packages from bee.list.chroot; add
bee-nvidia.list.chroot (DCGM) and bee-amd.list.chroot (ROCm)
- 9000-bee-setup hook: read /etc/bee-gpu-vendor; enable bee-nvidia.service
and DCGM only for nvidia; set up ROCm symlinks only for amd
- auto/config: --iso-volume uses BEE_GPU_VENDOR_UPPER env var
- grub.cfg: add nomodeset to EASY-BEE and EASY-BEE (load to RAM) entries
— fixes X/lightdm on BMC KVM (ASPEED AST chip requires nomodeset for
fbdev to work; NVIDIA H100 compute does not need KMS)
- bee.sh / smoketest.sh: add /usr/sbin to PATH so dmidecode, smartctl,
nvme are found
- 9100-memtest hook: add diagnostic listing of chroot/boot/memtest* files

ROCM_BANDWIDTH_TEST_VERSION, ROCM_VALIDATION_SUITE_VERSION, ROCBLAS,
ROCRAND, HIP_RUNTIME_AMD, HIPBLASLT, COMGR were defined in VERSIONS and
in bee.list.chroot but the sed substitution block only covered 3 of them.

- Add udev rule: /dev/ipmi0 readable by 'ipmi' group (no sudo needed)
- Add 'ipmi' group creation and bee user membership in chroot hook

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add rocm-validation-suite, rocblas, rocrand, hip-runtime-amd,
hipblaslt, comgr to ISO (~700MB, needed for HIP compute)
- RunAMDStressPack: run RVS GST (SGEMM ~31 TFLOPS/GPU) + bandwidth test
- Add rvs symlink in chroot setup hook
- Pin all new package versions in VERSIONS
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add rocm-bandwidth-test package to ISO
- Add bee user to 'render' group (/dev/kfd, /dev/dri/renderD* access)
- Add rocm-bandwidth-test symlink alongside rocm-smi
