To improve the efficiency of OpenMPI on the MedicineBow cluster, we require an update to Slurm.
This will enable us to build a version of OpenMPI based on the gcc/14.2.0
compiler that will significantly improve the inter node communication of multi-node MPI based applications.
...
Following on from this we would strongly suggest re-building any software that you have installed with gcc/13.2.0
to use the newer gcc/14.2.0
compiler.
