RHEL4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel ifort 12.0.4.191 X ifort12 12.0.4.191/32-bit/SA_APP Intel ifort 11.0.084 ifort11 11.1.075/32-bit/SA_APP Portland pgf95 11.7-0 X pgf11 n/a NAGWare nagfor 5.2(721) X - 5.2(668)/32-bit GNU gfortran 4.4.5 X - 4.4.0/32-bit/SA_APP GNU gcc 4.4.5 X - 3.4.6/32-bit }}} Currently, under RHEL4 (32-bit), the following are centrally installed (alias): {{{ Intel ifc (ifort7, v7) Intel ifort (ifort9, v9) Intel ifort (ifort, v10) NAGWare f95 (nag, v5.1) }}} ''and therefore will not be available under RHEL6''; hence we will not be able to test ROPP using them, and they will become legacy, support-wise (i.e. we retain the build mini-scripts, but have no means of formal checking with the Test Folder whether they still work for future ROPP releases). Under RHEL4, SA_APP makes the following unofficial, unsupported compilers available(alias: {{{ Intel ifort (ifort8, v8) Intel ifort (ifort11, v11) Intel ifort (ifort12, v12) Intel icc (icc11, v11) GNU gfortran (gfc, v4.4.0) GNU gcc (gcc-4, v4.4.0) GNU g95 (g95, v0.93, 17 Aug 2010) Sun f90 (sunf95, v8.3) Sun cc (suncc, v5.9) }}} These are 32-bit versions, and may or may not work on RHEL6 (to be tested) Since ifort11 and ifort12 are centrally installed on RHEL6, the SA_APP versions will be withdrawn after the rollout (v11 could be removed now, since this is also centrally installed now on all the RHEL4 scientific systems, including servers. I've left it for now as ours is 11.1, vs the system v11.0). I suggest to also remove v8 from SA_APP as its now obsolete (assuming it still works under RHEL6 anyway). Upgrading g95 to 64-bit should be possible (I have this installed at home). I think the sun compilers were only down-loadable in 32-bit (for free use, anyway); this may or may not work. So, for ROPP testing, I suggest the following list of Linux compilers we should aim to fully support for v5.1 onwards (i.e. in the Test Folder) gfortran, ifort11, ifort12, nagfor, pgf11, g95*, sunf95** * current install may work, but upgrade to 64-bit desirable. NB development seems to have halted - no released for a year now (used to be almost daily!) ** probabaly not upgradable; stick with current version if it works, drop it if not. Other compilers such as g95 and gfortran on Cygwin and xlf95 on AIX are unaffected, and will continue to be available for testing as now (AIX via Test Folder, Cygwin via user-package testing) Yet more compilers will likely be available (including some of the above legacy ones) to internal and external beta-testers, but of course these cannot be formally supported. Any comments? Dave" task closed normal 5.1 ROPP (all) 5.0 fixed compilers, fortran, support
