Kokkos Core Achieves OpenSSF Best Practices "Passing" Badge!

We’re thrilled to announce that the Kokkos Core project has achieved the “passing” badge from the OpenSSF Best Practices Program! This milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to maintaining high standards for security, quality, and overall project health.

This achievement comes a year after Kokkos joined the High Performance Software Foundation (HPSF), and our efforts to improve the project have been aligned with the foundation’s goals of fostering sustainable and high-quality high-performance computing software.

The OpenSSF Best Practices badge is a rigorous assessment that evaluates projects across a wide range of criteria, including:

• Security: Implementing secure development practices and vulnerability management.
• Code Quality: Adhering to coding standards and conducting thorough testing.
• Project Governance: Establishing clear governance policies and fostering a healthy community.
• Documentation: Providing comprehensive and up-to-date documentation.

Achieving the “passing” badge demonstrates that Kokkos meets these essential benchmarks, providing users with a reliable and trustworthy foundation for performance portability in their applications.

What This Means for Kokkos Users:

This achievement reinforces our dedication to delivering a robust and secure library. By meeting the OpenSSF Best Practices criteria, we’re ensuring that Kokkos Core is built on a solid foundation, minimizing risks and enhancing the long-term sustainability of the project.

Our Commitment to Continuous Improvement:

We view this badge as a stepping stone in our ongoing journey to improve Kokkos. We will continue to leverage best practices and actively engage with the OpenSSF community to further enhance the security and quality of our project.

We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who has contributed to the Kokkos project and helped us reach this milestone. We encourage you to explore Kokkos Core and experience the benefits of a well-maintained and secure performance portability library.
