Boston HPC

• Can we get newer intel compilers – dp to download and send through, v14 on the cluster so not too old
• Can we get cuda6 beta to test out? - dp to sort
• Documentation is being updated on the wiki as systems are available to check serials.
• I’ll update all of our cluster to 6.5 over the next week or so (as nodes are free)
• Currently almost all of our nodes are still running sandy bridge CPUs – most of the v2s we have at the moment are from stock. The Lab doesn’t *have any more pairs of samples I can use. - dp to request samples from manoj
• X10 system has the new version of v3 CPUs – you need to be root to get into the system

EPCC

• Really need newer intel compilers – dp sorted as above
• PGI OpenAcc compiler – can we get hold of them – dp to ask nvidia
• Slowly gathering hardware at the moment – I’m planning on moving all the nodes across towards the beginning on may.

• I’m going to arrange a time to go through everything, and do training on IB.
• They haven’t done much for the past couple of weeks as it exam / coursework deadline time.
