[Hpc-notice] Important information about the upcoming HPC software upgrade and downtime (Dec 3-7)

[Casey Mc Laughlin]

Hi HPC users,

In regard to the upcoming HPC upgrade and downtime from December 3 through 7<https://its.fsu.edu/article/2023-rcc-software-upgrade-announcement>, please make note of the following:

  *   We are upgrading the default GNU compiler from version 8.3 to version 8.5. You may need to recompile your C/C++/Fortran code if you are using the GNU compilers.
  *   We cannot guarantee all libraries will be immediately available after the upgrade. Please review the list below the signature in this email and contact us<mailto:support at rcc.fsu.edu> if you need us to prioritize any of them.
  *   If you need a newer version of Python (>3.6), we recommend installing it in a Conda environment. You can install any newer version up to and including Python 3.12. Instructions are on our website<https://docs.rcc.fsu.edu/software/python/#using-newer-versions-of-python-on-the-hpc>.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns: support at rcc.fsu.edu<mailto:support at rcc.fsu.edu>.

Thanks much,
The RCC Team
