Hi Kenneth,
Two small questions:
* Why don’t you condiser GCC 6.1 (or GCC 6.0) to be part of “all the
latest & greatest”?
* Is it necessary to have identical version of GCC for the foss and
intel toolchains?
It could allow to have foss/2016b with GCC 6.1 and intel/2016b with
GCC 5.4…
As Ward already mentioned: it's too early to consider GCC 6.1 'stable'
imho (the first release of a new major version of a compiler suite is
always something to be careful with).
Also, there are significant advantages in keeping the GCC version in
foss & intel the same.
I am going to bump LAPACK to the 3.6.1 that was release a couple of
weeks ago though as you mentioned in your off-list message, thanks for
bringing that up!
I did check all components for updated versions, but they must have
release LAPACK 3.6.1 shortly after I checked.
regards,
Kenneth

I consider the most recent updates to the foss & intel toolchains
prime candidates for 2016b (basically all latest & greatest, other
than GCC 6.1):
* foss/2016.06
* GCC 5.4 + binutils 2.26
* OpenMPI 1.10.3
* OpenBLAS 0.2.18 + LAPACK 3.6.0 + ScaLAPACK 2.0.2
* FFTW 3.3.4
* intel/2016.03-GCC-5.4
* GCC 5.4 + binutils 2.26
* icc & ifort 2016.3.210
* impi 5.1.13
* imkl 11.3.3.210
Unless some major technical arguments are raised, I propose we go
through with using foss/2016.06 and intel/2016.03-GCC-5.4 for the
2016b updates of the common toolchains.
regards,
Kenneth
