Note that some of the software listed there is not supported/will not be installed on hexagon.

Updates:

xt-mpt 5.3.0 -> 5.3.0

Petsc 3.1.05 -> 3.1.08
TPSL 1.0.01 -> 1.1.00
libfast 1.0.8 -> 1.0.9

ATP 1.2.0 -> 1.2.1
lgdb 1.3 -> 1.4

(xt-)gcc 4.5.3 -> 4.6.0
PGI 11.5.0 -> 11.6.0
xt-asyncpe 4.9 -> 5.00

Hexagon has updated software/libraries. Due to static linking programs must be recompiled to incorporate fixes.

MPI
xt-mpt 5.2.3 -> 5.3.0

Libraries
TPSL 1.0.0 -> 1.0.01

Compilers and debuggers
PGI 11.4 -> 11.5
Intel 12.0.3.174 -> 12.0.4.191
Totalview 8.9.0 -> 8.9.1
lgdb 1.2 -> 1.3
ATP 1.1.3 -> 1.2.0

NOTES:

xt-mpt
Bug-fixes.

The following features were added to MPT 5.3.0 over MPT 5.2.3:

- Merged in the ANL MPICH2 1.3.1 release which includes numerous bug fixes

- Improved support for MPI thread safety. It is no longer necessary to link
in a separate library for thread multiple support. See the
MPICH_MAX_THREAD_SAFETY env variable in the intro_mpi man page for more info.

- Improve performance of MPI_Init when using static connections.

- Make several additional MPICH_GNI environment variables available to users
and document them in the intro_mpi man page.


TPSL
Bug fixed in TPSL 1.0.01:
772335 massive unnecessary diagnostic output from SuperLU_dist under
petsc/3.1.05

ATP and lgdb
Bugfixes.

Hexagon has updates software/libraries.

MPT 5.2.3
Fixes:
- Correct handling of SHMEM locks at large core counts.
ATP 1.1.3
Fixes:
- When the Abnormal Termination Processing (ATP) signal handler recognizes that the application is running on a single core it does not initialize itself. ATP adds no value to single core applications. To take
advantage of this change, the application must be relinked.
- In previous versions of ATP, short running application that did not
fail could exit cleanly before that ATP was fully started which would result in atpFrontend processes hanging around indefinitely.
PGI 11.4.0
Features of PGI 11.4.0 are documented at: http://www.pgroup.com/doc/pgirn114.pdf
Fixes:
- 769940 pgcc-generated code for complex number operations inferior to Intel
GCC 4.5.3
Fixes:
- 768930 MANPATH for 'man gfortran' incorrect or 'old' version
- 769591 GNU OpenMP gfortran 4.5.2 internal compiler error for '!$omp task if(omp_get_num_threads() > 0)' [47886]
- 769876 Modulefile points to wrong location for man pages since v4.5.0
- 770495 PrgEnv-gnu does not set up correct man paths
- 770512 internal compiler error: in build_int_cst_wide, at tree.c:1178
- 771068 gcc module has the wrong manpath
- 771867 Incorrect MANPATH for gnu compiler man pages
Iobuf 2.0.2
IOBUF is an I/O buffering library that can reduce the I/O wait time for programs that read or write large files sequentially. IOBUF intercepts I/O system calls such as read and open and adds a layer of buffering, thus improving program performance by enabling asynchronous prefetching and caching of file data.
Fixes:
- BUG 771578 - iobuf module doesn't trap fwrite and fails when combined with posix
- BUG 772207 - Program not working when iobuf is being used

Hexagon has updates software/libraries.
