Dear Discovery Cluster users, The following is the software update on Discovery Cluster. 1) Gaussian 16 and GaussView 6 are updated on Discovery Cluster; [hliu@compute-0-021 ~]$ module whatis gaussian-16 gaussian-16 : loads the modules environment for Gaussian 16 (no Linda). Needs the following modules to be loaded as prerequisites module load gnu-4.4-compilers (for certain run-time kernel libraries) module load gnu-4.9.3-compilers module load fftw-3.3.3-single module load fftw-3.3.3 module load platform-mpi Now run >>source /shared/apps/gaussian/gaussian-16/g16/bsd/g16.profile Put these module load commands and source command in your .bashrc file that is found in your /home/<user-id> directory. TO USE gaussian 16, you must be added to the gaussian users group on Discovery cluster - as the software package requires users to be members of this group. For this reason email [log in to unmask] that you want to use gaussian 09 on Discovery Cluster and we will add you to the gaussian group. Only after this will you be able to use gaussian 16. DO NOT TRY to run gaussian 16 (g16) until we do this as the jobs will core dump. [hliu@compute-0-021 ~]$ module whatis gaussview-6 gaussview-6 : loads the modules environment for GaussView 6. Needs the following modules to be loaded as prerequisites module load gnu-4.4-compilers (for certain run-time kernel libraries) module load gnu-4.9.3-compilers module load fftw-3.3.3-single module load fftw-3.3.3 module load platform-mpi module load gaussian-16 Now run >>source /shared/apps/gaussian/gaussian-16/g16/bsd/g16.profile Put these module load commands and source command in your .bashrc file that is found in your /home/<user-id> directory. TO USE GaussView 6, you must be added to the gaussian users group on Discovery cluster - as the software package requires users to be members of this group. For this reason email [log in to unmask] that you want to use GaussView 6 on Discovery Cluster and we will add you to the gaussian group. Only after this will you be able to use GaussView 6. DO NOT TRY to run GaussView 6 (gview) until we do this as the program will core dump. 2) Binutils has been updated from 2.20 to 2.29 (latest version) on discovery2; https://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/ old version is Binutils 2.20 [hliu@discovery2 ~]$ ld -V GNU ld version 2.20.51.0.2-5.34.el6 20100205 Supported emulations: elf_x86_64 elf_i386 i386linux elf_l1om [hliu@discovery2 ~]$ as --version GNU assembler version 2.20.51.0.2-5.34.el6 20100205 Copyright 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
