Cluster Maintenance for Winter 2022

The RCD team performed scheduled maintenance on the Palmetto Cluster between December 21st and 23rd, 2022. The following changes were made:

  • We have patched and rebooted all compute nodes; firmware has been updated.
  • We have updated firmware and OS versions on all network switches.
  • We have updated BeeGFS.
  • We have installed new optimized versions of OpenMPI and new versions of software that depend on OpenMPI. The old versions were not modified and will remain installed until everyone can migrate to the new optimized versions.
