#* Make sure that that package can benefit from GCC compiler flag selection
#* Consider carefully how much work is involved in building, testing, and benchmarking that package
# Become an expert at building that software. Learn how the build process works, what other software is required to build and run it (dependencies), how long it usually takes to build on AArch64 and x86_64 systems, and how to determine if the build is successful. '''Important:''' Do not build the software as root (sudo) and do not install it into system directories on the [[SPO600 Servers]]. You may install it into personal directories if desired.
# Determine how to alter the build flags used by the software.
# Develop a strategy for benchmarking the software (testing its performance).
