Hi!
Metis defaults to 32-bit floating point numbers. However, on 64-bit
platforms, users probably expect 64-bit floating point numbers, hence
this patch.
We could make it configurable through different variants or via package
parameters when they’re available, but I wonder about the usefulness of
a variant that uses 32-bit floats on 64-bit architectures. Can we keep
just this one variant?
Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hi again,
For now I’ve added a ‘metis-r64’ package with 64-bit reals to the
‘guix-hpc’ channel:
https://gitlab.inria.fr/guix-hpc/guix-hpc/-/commit/f4a77fe95f0286bd63b07af6b9fbef25f3262682
Let’s see later if we can come up with a more generic solution in Guix
proper.
Ludo’.
