[Hpc-notice] Friday update regarding software upgrade

[Casey Mc Laughlin]

Hi HPC & Spear users,

One last update for the software upgrade project before the weekend.

Except for a handful of systems, all the Spear and HPC Compute nodes, including the GPU nodes have been upgraded to CentOS 8.

The project won't be fully complete, however, until all the software issues are resolved. Our software team is meeting daily to triage and work on issues. We will continue to do so until every issue related to the upgrade is complete.

We'd like to remind everyone who has custom code that it will likely need to be recompiled for the new software stack. As with any software upgrade, shared libraries have changed; some have been removed in favor of newer alternatives, and some have new versions. Please let us know if you need help recompiling your software.

For those of you who have outstanding software upgrade requests, we appreciate your patience. In our triage process, we've been prioritizing getting existing packages working before attending to new software requests. This will be the case for the next few days at least.

If you have any questions or comments, please let us know: support at rcc.fsu.edu<mailto:support at rcc.fsu.edu>.

Best regards,
The RCC Team
