My users find that using the Intel compilers do increase application performance for them over GCC (especially with x86_64 architecture, because of the auto-vectorization you can get with the SSE aware compilers). Given the choice, none of the folks using my system choose GCC over Intel (currently, all my users use Intel compilers and Intel flavors of MPI, even though GCC is also available). I would say that the ability to use the Intel compilers with MPI would be valuable, if OFED is would be considered in OSCAR. If Intel flavors aren't included, I would probably have to choose to not install it via OSCAR, but instead do it myself by hand to get them. Just the thoughts of one user... --Joe

That's should be fun to do and it fits perfectly the OSCAR-V extension (which, i hope, will be very soon integrated directly into OSCAR). My 2 cents, Selon Paul Greidanus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi All, > > I was just looking and thinking about OFED, and how to package it into > OSCAR, and I'm thinking it might be possible to just copy the SRPMS in, > and have the oscar build scripts build the RPMS, like the rest of > oscar?
