Contributions summary:Geoff primarily contributed to the `kokkos` package within the Spack repository, focusing on improving its integration and build process. Their work involved adding support for new versions of Kokkos, incorporating new features, and resolving conflicts. They demonstrated expertise in configuring build systems, implementing variants, and handling dependencies within the context of a package manager for scientific computing. Furthermore, the user addressed several build and configuration issues related to different CUDA versions and backend options.
The Kokkos Fortran Interop repository contains tools and interfaces which help interactions between Fortran portions of an applications and C++ portions using Kokkos.
