Dear NERSC Users, On Thursday, June 10, 2004 Escher will be down from 14:00 to 18:00, pacific time, to install OS upgrade IRIX 6.5.23. Currently we are running IRIX 6.5.18f. IRIX 6.5.23, in addition to bug-fixes will include several software enhancements e.g. IRIX standard execution environment MIPSpro 7.4.1m ; Message Passing Toolkit 1.8, SGI Scientific Library 1.4.1.3. Please note, NERSC default MIPSpro compilers and compiler environment will remain at current 7.3.1.3m level. With the implementation of IRIX 6.5.23, the tools acroread, xpsview and showps will be replaced with the tools gsview and xpdf. The wrappers for acroread and xpsview/showps will invoke the new xpdf or gsview commands respectively.
