Release Notes
- This initial release candidate (2.0 RC1) represents a significant update for OpenHPC to target support for two new major OS distro versions: CentOS8.1 and OpenSUSE Leap 15.1.
- As the OpenHPC 2.x series targets major new distro versions, please note that the 2.x series is not backwards compatible with the OpenHPC 1.3.x series.
- OpenHPC 2.x is intended for fresh installs with the newer distro versions (or containers based on these distro versions).
- Note that 2.x builds for SUSE based systems are now performed against Leap instead of SLES. Leap 15.1 is intended to be compatible with SLES 15 SP1.
- Systems that start with 2.0RC1 installs will be able to upgrade to future 2.X releases.
Important Highlights/Notices
- A new compiler variant
gnu9 is introduced with this release.
- A new openmpi variant
openmpi4 is introduced with this release.
- MPICH builds now use the newer
ch4 interface.
- 2.x introduces the use of two related transport layers for MPICH and OpenMPI family builds that support a variety of underlying fabrics: UCX (Unified Communication X) and OFI (OpenFabrics interfaces).
- 2.x also introduces initial 3rd party builds against the Arm Linux compiler for aarch64:
- A compiler compatibility package (
arm1-compilers-devel-ohpc) is provided to enable the arm1 compiler variant. See Section 3.7 in the aarch64 recipes for additional information.
- Initially, only a subset of development packages are available for use with the
arm1 variant. See details below and Appendix E in the aarch64 recipes for details on available builds.
- 2.x package repositories are now hosted on a new site: http://repos.openhpc.community
General Updates
- nagios, munge, and clustershell installs in recipes now leverage distro-provided versions
ip is now used in place of ifconfig in documentation recipes (#600)- the intel-mpi-devel-ohpc compatibility package can now be installed independently of the companion compiler (#955)
- installation recipes have been updated to use
chrony instead of ntpd for time synchronization (#1107)
- packaging for a number of development components has been updated to allow better alternate build flag support. This is intended for sites who would like to rebuild from an ohpc provided src.rpm and provide alternate build settings (e.g. to apply additional processor-specific optimization flags) (#1183)
- slurm configuration example in installation recipes updated to use "configless" option (#1205)
Known Issues
- This initial RC1 release provides a subset of installation recipes (we expect xCat and PBS Professional for CentOS8 to return in a future release)
- Lustre client and BeeGFS are not yet available
- Several packages with the Intel compiler variant are not available: Boost, Trilinos, and geopm
