Portable test run of ESPResSo on EuroHPC systems via EESSI

Since 14 June 2024, ESPResSo v4.2.2 is available in the EESSI production repository software.eessi.io, optimized for the 8 CPU targets that are fully supported by version 2023.06 of EESSI. This allows running ESPResSo effortlessly on the EuroHPC systems where EESSI is already available, like Vega and Karolina.

On 27 June 2024, an additional installation of ESPResSo v4.2.2 that is optimized for Arm A64FX processors was added, which enables also running ESPResSo efficiently on Deucalion, even though EESSI is not available yet system-wide on Deucalion (see below for more details).

With the portable test for ESPResSo that is available in the EESSI test suite we can easily evaluate the scalability of ESPResSo across EuroHPC systems, even if those systems have different system architectures.
