It provides software to manage, and operate large-scale Linux HPC clusters and serves as a foundation for optional add-ons such as schedulers, like Sun’s Sun Grid Engine.
The major new features:
- Support for SLES 10sp2 – a key feature in offering single point of contact support
- Inclusion of Sun supported cluster software, such as:
- Sun Clustertools 8.1 (8.2 will be available in SHSLE 2.0.1, to be released shortly)
- SunStudio 12u1
- Sun Grid Engine 6.2u2 (SGE 6.2u3 will be available also in SHSLE 2.0.1)
- A management database (“gtdb”) for storing cluster configuration information and automatic generation of config files, along with scriptable, command-line tools (“gtt”) to manipulate this database
- Lustre 1.8.0.1 with pre-built Linux kernels with Lustre patches
- MPI libraries pre-built for Pathscale and SunStudio x86 compilers, in addition to previously supported libraries and compilers
- Simplified installation and setup – new scripts have been included to automate the routine portions of the head node installation
- Several package upgrades too numerous to mention here, as well as many minor defect fixes. See the Release Notes for the List of Contents and Resolved Issues.
- Certification to run on RHEL 5.3, SLES 10sp2, and CentOS 5.3.
