SuiteSparse is a suite of sparse matrix algorithms, including: UMFPACK(multifrontal LU factorization), CHOLMOD(supernodal Cholesky, with CUDA acceleration), SPQR(multifrontal QR) and many other packages.

OSC is refreshing the software stack on Ruby on September 15, 2015 (during the scheduled downtime). During the software refresh, some default versions are updated to be more up-to-date. Information about the old and new default versions, as well as all available versions of each software package will be included on the corresponding OSC software webpage. See https://www.osc.edu/supercomputing/software-list.

OSC timely installs new software versions on OSC systems, and periodically do coordinated software refresh (update the default versions to be more up-to-date and remove some versions that are quite out of date) on OSC systems. While we encourage everyone to use up-to-date software, the old defaults will still be available till the next software refresh, in case some users prefer to use the old defaults.

OSC is refreshing the software stack on Oakley on September 15, 2015 (during the scheduled downtime); something we have not done since Oakley entered service in 2012. During the software refresh, some default versions are updated to be more up-to-date and some older versions are removed. Information about the old and new default versions, as well as all available versions of each software package will be included on the corresponding OSC software webpage.

Memory Limit:

It is strongly suggested to consider the memory use to the available per-core memory when users request OSC resources for their jobs. On Oakley, it equates to 4GB/core and 48GB/node.

Memory Limit:

It is strongly suggested to consider the memory use to the available per-core memory when users request OSC resources for their jobs. On Glenn, it equates to 3GB/core and 24GB/node.

There are many instances where it is necessary to run the same serial program many times with slightly different input. Parametric runs such as these either end up running in a sequential fashion in a single batch job, or a batch job is submitted for each parameter that is varied (or somewhere in between.) One alternative to this is to allocate a number of nodes/processors to running a large number of serial processes for some period of time.
