We are looking to upgrade our aged version of PGI CDK (Portland Group Fortran and C family compilers) on our cluster. However, since we only compile our models on the master node we would like to get a single node license for the master node without using the CDK option and paying the CDK price (you can only enter our cluster environment through the master node anyway rather than some clusters where you can join and do your dogwork on any node). We would then compile MPICH and move onward.
We have heard some chatter that we can do this, and we have also heard chatter that PGI single node compilers (even when run though MPICH) are hobbled so that they can only be applied to 4 processors (accounting for dual core systems). Obviously we'd rather not shell out big bucks for a PGI CDK kit compiler that will only be compiling on one node. Does anyone have any experience or insight on this problem.
