The Maui scheduler was upgraded from v3.2.5 to v3.2.6p9. This should help with the fair-share scheduling and backfill. Give lower priority to those who use a lot of cputime, and prioritize the once who run less.
Check 'showq' or 'showq -i' to see what priority your job has to get started. Complain to hpc-support@hpc.uib.no if you feel you're not getting high enough priority.
NFR-users should get top priority as long as they're not using more than 75% of the cputime.
Upgrade
Intel compilers patched
The intel 'icc' and 'ifort' compilers on the linux cluster was patched with the latest fixes:
l_cc_pc_8.0.066_pe070.1
l_fc_pc_8.0.046_pe050.1
GSL upgraded on the linux cluster
GSL - GNU Scientific Librarywas upgraded to v1.5 on the linux cluster.
It's installed in /localnet/gsl/.
CC=icc ./configure --prefix=/localnet/gsl-1.5
make
make check
make install

Gaussian 03 C.02 installed on regatta
Gaussian 02 C.02 has been installed on the regatta. Use 'module load g03c02' to set up your environment for this version. Please test it, and report any problems to hpc-support@hpc.uib.no.
For information on new features and bugfixes in this release, read http://www.gaussian.com/g_tech/g03_rel.htm.

OpenSSH upgraded (with S/Key)
OpenSSH was upgraded to version 3.8.1p1 and configured to support S/Key autentication (OTP). S/Key autentication is a one-time password system that makes it possible to log in securely from any internet cafe without worrying about anybody logging the password that was used during log-in.
maui scheduler minor upgrade
The Maui batch scheduler was upgraded from version 3.2.6p6-snap.1070912066 to 3.2.6p6-snap.1079990700. Hopefully this should fix a memory leak, which has forced us to restart the scheduler every second week to keep it from crashing.
Totalview 6.5
Totalview has been upgraded to version 6.5 on the linux cluster and IBM regatta. On the regatta you should use the command 'module load totalview' to have the environment set up for totalview. On linux it alread is set up.
XL Fortran compiler upgrade
The May 2004 XL Fortran V8.1 Compiler and Runtime PTF was installed.
Intel compilers upgraded on fire.ii.uib.no
The intel fortran and C/C++ compilers were upgraded to the latest releases on the linux cluster. This should fix problems with writing files larger than 2 GB.
