Due to over memory usage , compute-1-32 crashed last night, we are trying reinstall that node , but currently having some hardware failure issue,
we are still working on it , hope fully compute-1-32 will be up tomorrow, we will keep you updated.

We are sorry for incontinence.

UPDATE 26th May 11:47 compute-1-32 is up and running.

One of the file server serving work and home file system on fimm cluster crashed 14:10, all jobs using work file system crashed due to Stale NFS file handle.

File server rebooted , and home file system and work file system mounted back to all compute nodes.

Hexagon has got NCL version which is capable to run with aprun. Latest module version 5.2.0 is aprun compatible. This version is loaded by default if you do module load ncl_ncarg.

If you miss some features and you want to run ncl on login node, then module load ncl_ncarg/5.2.0-login shall be used.

Hexagon will have a scheduled maintenance on Thursday May. 6th from 12:00.
This is to fix problem with cabinet 7.
The queue have a reservation in place such that only jobs that can complete (according to asked for walltime) before the maintenance will start.
This note will be updated when we have more information.

Update: Maintenance has been moved to Monday May 10th, from 12:00

Update: 10.05, 18:20 Maintenance finished, machine is back online.

Hexagon has updates libraries.

MPI
xt-mpt 4.0.3 -> 4.1.0.1

Math-libs
ACML 4.3.0 -> 4.4.0

Compilers
xt-asyncpe 3.7 -> 3.8

NOTES:

xt-mpt
Features:

The algorithms used for shmem_set_lock and shmem_clear_lock have
been improved for much better scaling. In a basic test of calls to set_lock
and clear_lock by a set of PEs all competing for the same lock, MPT
4.0.2 and MPT 4.0.3 perform about the same for a few nodes, but beyond
just a few, the time per PE for MPT 4.0.2 steadily increases with
the number of PEs whereas the time per PE for MPT 4.0.3 stays level.
At just 128 PEs, MPT 4.0.3 is about 4 times faster than MPT 4.0.2
and the difference keeps increasing. In addition, the new algorithm
grants the lock in the same order as the lock was requested whereas
with the old algorithm it was somewhat random which PE waiting for
the lock would get it next.

Adds support for dynamic libraries when using the cce compiler.

Bugs Fixed:
Bug 755075 MPICH2 threads/comm/ctxdup.c fails with "Too many communicators" in 4.0.0.3 vs 3.5.1"
Bug 755698 MPI_Allgatherv hangs when using thread-safety
Bug 755490 SHMEM performance over Seastar needs improvements
Bug 755426 Divide by zero by MPIIO if file is not a Lustre file
