| Dear Users,

| On Monday, 8 April 2010, we'll be upgrading Intrepid, to the latest
| Blue Gene /P driver, V1R4M1, with all available eFixes.
| Simultaneously, we'll be changing the IBM compilers and
| libraries to default to the latest PTF. 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 Monday will be run
| under the new driver.
| 
| While experience has shown that applications compiled with previous
| versions of the Blue Gene /P driver do not break following driver
| upgrades, we do not guarantee that code compiled for previous drivers
| will continue to work under V1R4M1. 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. LCF
| supported applications and libraries compiled against V1R4M1 will be
| in /soft/apps/V1R4M1/ as they become available.
| 
| For more information about driver V1R4M1, please see:

| Please contact us at support at alcf.anl.gov with any questions,
| comments, or concerns.
