ALICE O2 CI-Pipelines on NGT Cluster

A fork of the AliceO2 repo is not in the NextGenTrigggers (NGT) GitHub organization
It has a GitHub action running the standalone benchmark on NGT GPUs
Uses the builds in /cvmfs/alice.cern.ch/ of O2 and dependencies (pipeline takes about 7 minutes)
Different GPUs are tested in parallel on different VMs
O2 standalone benchmark works on the all ngt-resources:
- Nvidia H100 188GB NVL
- AMD Instinct MI300X
- AMD Radeon Pro W7900
- Nvidia L40S
We are now using custom .par files
Gabriele generated optimized .par files
Next steps
- Use Gabrieles .par files
Possible next steps
- Add new architectures to O2 hardcoded ones?
- Store results in csv format and plot them?
- Display the plot in the github web gui?

NextGenTrigger Task 1.7

Workshop November 19 - 21
- Need to prepare talk about Task 1.7.
- Collected summaries from people working on Task 1.7 last week
- Next Steps:
  - Interview task leads
  - Create the slides
Discussing implementation of our template SoA code in MadGraph with Stefan Roiser
- Next Steps:
  - Change template approach to also support SoA with AoS access only
Held a meeting with Jolly and Axel from Task 1.7
- Topic: Merge reflections and template approaches to SoA
- Problems with template approach: Not working with derived classes or private members
- Merged with reflections: https://godbolt.org/z/P1xohnxdv
- Same without, but with boilerplate code: https://godbolt.org/z/ovavdKba7
