Kavocado is the personal site of GenericRikka (Kavex), an open source developer and FreeBSD ports contributor based in Germany. The focus is on HPC infrastructure — porting, upstreaming, and maintaining the software stack that makes high-performance computing work on FreeBSD.
This site collects status reports, patch notes, documentation, and occasional writing on systems programming and FreeBSD. All source code and patch branches are published on the self-hosted Forgejo instance.
HPC on FreeBSD
Active porting work on the core HPC software stack. This includes UCX transport layer patches and portability fixes, introducing ports for mpifileutils, clustershell, reframe-hpc, libcircle, dtcmp and lwgrp, to form a coherent HPC runtime stack and Slurm workload manager support. Patches are submitted upstream where applicable, with authorship credit in the UCX project and strong upstream contacts for Slurm.

FreeBSD Ports
Contributing to the FreeBSD ports collection through patch audits, portability
fixes, upstream bug reports, and new port submissions. Current maintainerships
include sysutils/slurm-wlm and the HPC stack. Work is coordinated
with ports committers, and upstream projects directly.
Open Source
All work is published openly. Patch branches, work in progress, and completed upstream submissions are visible on the self-hosted Forgejo instance at code.kavocado.net. Clone freely. Contributions and feedback welcome via the issue tracker or patches by mail.
