Cellcenter and SHC users now have access to the Intel Cluster Toolkit 3.2, including the compiler suite v 11.1. We have a two-seat license. “use intel” will this package into your environment. More Information about the Intel Cluster Toolkit

Pathscale compilers are being retired Feb 25, 2010. Users are encouraged to rebuild their codes using Intel, PGI, or gnu compilers. Specifically, these pathscale based packages will retire Feb 25:

  • pathscale (alias for pathscale 3.2)
  • pathscale_[3.1,3.2]
  • openmpi_1.3.3_pathscale
  • openmpi_1.3.3_pathscale_3.2
  • openmpi_1.3.4_pathscale
  • openmpi_1.4_pathscale
  • openmpi_pathscale (alias for openmpi_1.3.3_pathscale_3.2)

Additional packages that will be retiring on Feb 25, due to bug fixes and newer release compatible offerings:

  • openmpi_1.3.2 (alias for openmpi_1.3.2_gcc)
  • openmpi_1.3.2_gcc
  • openmpi_1.3.4_gcc
  • openmpi_1.3.4_intel
  • openmpi_1.3.4_pgi

CACR welcomes student users from Caltech’s Applied & Computational Mathematics/Computer Science course ACM/CS114, “Parallel Algorithms for Scientific Applications”. ACM114 is an introduction to parallel program design for numerically intensive scientific applications. Topics to be covered include parallel programming methods, and parallel numerical algorithms, performance measurement, scaling and parallel efficiency. ACM114 is being taught by CACR Principal Computational Scientist Michael Aivazis. The course website is at http://acm114.caltech.edu.
