Hi Tim, I am asking from the non container side. If one wants to go bare metal wouldn’t that lower ram footprint that alpine provides be advantageous so you can maximize resource usage for what you want to crunch?

Presumably the libm point Janne made applies in the container context as well, since the application will presumably be using the container’s libm, not the host node’s library.

I am super impressed on virtualized version of it what a low ram footprint it has 60mb starting. What do you guys think when it comes to alpine linux in the HPC space?
