Tip of the Week: Using TotalView Debugger for Parallel jobs on Neser

In this example, we will be using the Intel compiler along with OpenMPI/1.6.4/intel( intel-compilers/11.1 and openmpi/1.6.4/intel should be loaded). In addition, it is required that you connect to Neser using the ssh –X option, to get the Totalview GUI ( Graphical User Interface).

Disruption to Shaheen earlier today

Earlier today, a fault occurred on both Shaheen front end nodes, rendering them completely unresponsive. To remedy the situation, both front end nodes were rebooted. We apologise for any disruption this may have caused. The root cause of the problem is still under investigation.

Maintenance Session Tuesday 17th February

The next maintenance session will be on Tuesday 17th February from 12:00 until 17:00. There will be no access to the system during this period.
