The Portland Group has kindly extended ARSC's license to use their HPF
compiler until February 29th. Please contact Mike Ess if you have any
problems or results from using pghpf. The instructions for using pghpf
at ARSC were described in newsletter #65 (12/15/95).
Accessing 128 PEs at ARSC
It is not always possible to access 128 PEs in a predictable way now
that the ARSC T3D is more active. To help with this access, after
downtime this Tuesday, January 9th, we will open the 128PE, 5 minute NQS
queue first and let all accumulated jobs (5 minutes or less) execute.
Then when the 128 PE jobs are complete we will activate the other T3D
queues.
So if you would like to execute on 128 PEs for less than 5 minutes,
submit your NQS job before 5PM on Tuesday January 9th. This procedure is
an experiment, and if it goes well we may make it a regular part of
Tuesday downtime. If you have any questions about this please contact
Mike Ess.
CUG Table of Contents
In last week's newsletter, I mentioned that the proceedings for the
Alaska CUG were not yet available. Just this week, I received my copy
and the table of contents of the proceedings is given below. If you
would like a copy of some article, send a request to me and I'll mail it
out. (These articles are not available though the CUG home page.)
