HiPerGator Regular Updates and Depreciation of openmpi/4.1.5

📅 November 6, 2024

UFIT Research Computing staff will begin regular system patching and updates starting today and rolling through most of the system over time.  These updates should have minimal customer-facing impacts.  Login nodes will be drained and updated individually as part of the patching process.

In addition, the openmpi/4.1.5 module and the underlying PMIx packages it relies upon will be removed from the system at some point during this time. Users should be using openmpi/4.1.6 or updating scripts to utilize this module.
