Sword needs an upgrade. I'd like to move it to SuSE 9.3. The destiny upgrade went OK, which was effectively a trial run for upgrading sword. Here are my current plans for sword:
- Remove the MPI queues. MPI should be done on Athens or the group servers
- Use rsh internally for consistency with the parallel clusters (ssh will still work though)
- I have a list of suse packages for sword .
- Make modules compulsory
- Do network installs for the compute nodes
- Software to be removed because it's not supported or no one wants it:
- GAMESS-US
- PGI 4.0
- gcc 3.2
- BLACS
- ScaLAPACK
- Most of the MPI libraries (may need to keep some for compiling purposes)
If anyone has things they'd like to see on sword this would be the place to ask for them.
