Hexagon has updated software/libraries. Please read the full information about new features and bugs fixed in:

http://docs.cray.com/books/S-9401-1206/

In short the following has been updated:

xt-mpich2 (MPI) 5.4.5 -> 5.5.1

PGI 12.4.0 -> 12.5.0
GCC 4.6.3 -> 4.7.0
Cray compiler CCE 8.0.5 -> 8.0.6
xt-asyncpe 5.10 -> 5.11

xt-libsci 11.0.06 -> 11.1
Trilinos 10.8.3.0 -> 10.8.3.1
Petsc 3.2.01 -> 3.2.02
TPSL 1.2.00 -> 1.2.01
fftw 3.3.00 -> 3.3.01
Netcdf 4.1.3 -> 4.2.0
HDF5 1.8.7 -> 1.8.8

Note that Netcdf 4.2.0 no longer provides the legacy libnetcdf_c++ API but only the new libnetcdf_c++4 API.

Programs needs to be recompiled to gain any features or bugfixes due to static linking.

Hello,
Maui job scheduler on fimm is still behaving strange. Jobs get scheduled to random nodes. This can break already running jobs on these nodes. Please check results of completed jobs and expect irregular job cancellations over the next days.

We are working on resolving the problem and will let you know when we're back with regular job running conditions.

We have updated following main software on fimm:

PGI/11.8
GCC/4.6.1
intel/12.1.6_233

openmpi/1.4.4 compiled with pgi/11.8 gcc/4.6.1

netcdf/4.1.3 compiled with pgi/11.8 gcc/4.6.1

HDF5/1.8.7 compiled with pgi/11.8 gcc/4.6.1

szip/2.1 compiled with pgi/11.8 gcc/4.6.1 intel/12.1.6_233

zlib/2.3.1 compiled with pgi/11.8 gcc/4.6.1 intel/12.1.6_233

We have also implemented PrgEnv-pgi and PrgEnv-gcc on fimm which will work same as hexagon, it is a software environment set which helps you to load right set of the software.


We keep rest of the software updated.

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.
