Software packages including their libraries on HPC Systems are in part provided by the OS’ distribution (such as the Linux kernel or libc), in part by the HPC suppliers (such as network-stack libraries like libmxm and libslurm) or are compiled by the HPC centers themselves (such as Open MPI). For stability of the system as a whole, it is of utmost importance, that SW libraries’ Application Binary Interface (ABI) do not change unnoticed. This TS evaluates the basics of ABI changes, semantic versioning as a means to signal breaking changes, and the tool ABI compliance checker.
This paper explores the influence of French cultural standards and dimensions on the corporate culture, the management style and the international development of the French petroleum company Total by using empirical methods. Due to its important degree of internationalisation, Total projects a considerably internationalised outward appearance, in which French national cultural influences are hardly recognisable. On the other hand, the internal processes and structures of the company are significantly more influenced by French cultural characteristics and standards. Qualitative individual interviews of employees from the middle management of Total provide the basis for the empirical examination. The results of these interviews confirm the findings of analytical studies, complement them with broader views and provide clear indications for the influence of national culture on the type of communication, hierarchical structure, as well as work organisation and decision making processes within the company.
