[intrepid-notify] Intrepid Driver Upgrade

[William Scullin]

Dear Users,

On Tuesday, 20 January 2009, we'll be upgrading Intrepid, our 40 rack
system, to the latest Blue Gene /P driver, V1R3M0, with all available
eFixes. The queues will not drain themselves of existing jobs before
the new driver will be put into place. Jobs in queue at the close of
business on Tuesday will be run under the new driver.

It is highly recommended that you recompile your code to take
advantage of new features and fixes available in the new driver before
running any application. We do not guarantee that code compiled for
the previous driver will continue to work under V1R3M0. Applications
and libraries recompiled to work with V1R3M0 will be available in
/soft/apps/V1R3M0/.

For more information about driver V1R3M0, please see:

https://wiki.alcf.anl.gov/index.php/BGP_Driver_Information#Driver_V1R3M0

At the time of this e-mail, two logins have been set up to allow you
to compile jobs with the new driver:

    login9.intrepid.alcf.anl.gov
    login10.intrepid.alcf.anl.gov

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact the
ALCF Support Team at support at alcf.anl.gov. Thank you and we apologize
for any inconvenience.

Best,

The ALCF Support Team
