And it's often not enough that it can be made to work when large contracts are involved and comittment over time. For our part it's been GPFS, Lustre and networking (together with those two). Then for some systems and user groups there's commercial software with quite rigid ideas of "supported system". Commercial CFD softwares, Totalview, Gaussian, DDT, etc. comes to mind. They too may work but the path of least resistance is (was) typically RHEL or derivatives... For cluster deployment and (open source) scientific software I don't think RHEL/CentOS will be that much missed. /Peter K _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit https://beowulf.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
