We have ability to use the MPI on Puma Portals implementation that was originally designed for the Intel Paragon running Puma, and is currently in use on the Intel TeraFLOPS machine running Cougar. It was developed from MPICH version 1.0.12 and has been extensively tested and validated by Intel. • What version of Linux is being used? We are using Red Hat 5.1 and Linux-AXP v2.0.34. • How well does the machine perform? Various performance numbers can be obtained from the Cplant Performance page. • Which compilers are being used? We are using compilers for Digital UNIX, Digital FORTRAN and Digital C Digital C++ to build statically linked ECOFF executables that run under Linux-AXP. • On what LAN is the machine? The production Cplant Alpha/Linux cluster (called Alaska) currently is on Sandia’s Internal Restricted Network (IRN). • Who may have accounts on the Cplant? An IRN account is needed to access Cplant. • How do I obtain an account on Cplant? You can request an account through WebCARS
