GA 4.0.8 - patched
version of
the GA release 4.0
This patched version has the following support
- Cray XT3/XT4 Shmem port bug fixes
- g95 support, etc..
GA 4.0.7 - patched
version of
the GA release 4.0
This patched version has the following support
- Port for Cray XT3/XT4 with Linux on Compute Nodes (please
see
the support
page for more information)
- TARGET=CATAMOUNT or LINUX64
- Select the network protocols by setting either of the
following
- ARMCI_NETWORK=CRAY-SHMEM (recommended, as it is
stable). Do not use -VN mode
- ARMCI_NETWORK=PORTALS (to use PORTALS) - not fully
supported on LInux yet.
- export XT_SYMMETRIC_HEAP_SIZE=1G
GA 4.0.6 - patched
version of
the GA release 4.0
This is a patched version that primaliry resolves the
following minor bugs in GA 4.0.5:
- IBM LAPI Platform: LAPI64 bug fixed
- When GA 4.0.5 is compiled with TCGMSG, following error is
reported when running test programs. This is fixed in GA
4.0.6.
- Error: ga_msg_pgroup_sync not implemented
- Erroneous comments lines removed in MA header file
(macommon.h).
- Compilation abort when GA_C_CORE is defined.
GA 4.0.5 - patched
version of
the GA release 4.0
This is a patched version
that resolves the following issues. This release has some bugs
introduced, So please use GA 4.0.6
- Stable port for IBM BG/L and Cray XT3/XT4
- Cray XT3/XT4 supported targets and settings (please see
the support page for more information)
- TARGET=CATAMOUNT
- Select the network protocols by setting either of the
following
- ARMCI_NETWORK=CRAY-SHMEM (recommended, as it is
stable). Do not use -VN mode
- ARMCI_NETWORK=PORTALS (to use PORTALS)
- export XT_SYMMETRIC_HEAP_SIZE=1G
GA 4.0.4 - patched version of
the GA release 4.0
This is a patched version that resolves the following issues:
- g77 only: underscore problems in fortran (caused by
g77) resolved.
GA 4.0.3 - patched version of
the GA release 4.0
This is a patched version that resolves the following issues:
- Molpro compatibility macommon.h header file: This is an
important change for Molpro package. Molpro users are encouraged to use
GA 4.0.3 instead of GA 4.0.2. There are no problems in GA 4.0.1 or
earlier releases. This will fix the problem that was causing the
following error in Molpro
- nga_create_config:ga_set_data:ttype not yet supported ::
1010
- This patch also include fixes for the following:
GA 4.0.2 - patched version of
the GA release 4.0
The following new
capabilities have been introduced:
- Seperate TARGET available for BlueGene/L systems (setenv
TARGET BGL). Please contact your IBM sys admin for GA tarball.
- GA support for LAPI on LINUX/x86 and LINUX/ppc platforms
- LAPI on Linux/x86
(TARGET=LINUX, ARMCI_NETWORK=LAPI)
- LAPI on Linux/ppc64
(TARGET=LINUX64,ARMCI_NETWORK=LAPI)
- Port to Solaris on x86 architectures (TARGET=SOLARIS)
- GA now fully supports two new data types:
- Single precision complex (Thanks
to Einar Otnes)
- long long (in C). i.e. C_LONGLONG
- setenv USE_INTEGER8=y option. This is especially useful on
platforms where there is support for 8 byte integers and default
integer size is 4 bytes. Useful on platforms like Bluegene/L where
sizeof C "long" datatype and default fortran integer are 4 bytes.
