-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks,
We're about to bring up a new cluster (IBM iDataplex with SandyBridge CPUs including 10 nodes with two Intel Xeon Phi cards) and I'm at the stage where we need to pick an OMPI release to put on. Given that this system is at the start of its life whatever we pick now is likely to be baked in for the next 4 years or so (with OMPI point release updates of course) and so I'm thinking that I should be going with the 1.7.x release rather than the 1.6.x one. For comparison the Nehalem iDP this is going in next to is still at 1.4.x, it wouldn't be worth the effort to take it to a later release given it has probably only another 18 months of life left. However, not having been able to keep up with this list for some time I'd like to throw myself on your tender mercies for advice for whether that's a good plan or not! Thoughts please?
