Operating systems

The Linux release used at the hpc-icf cluster is Scientific Linux 5.2 (a clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux), system co-developed by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).

The Linux kernel version is displayed by the command:

$ uname -r

whereas the distribution release is displayed by the command:

$ cat /etc/issue

Scientific Linux support 64bit addressing, thus programs can be compiled and linked either in 32 or 64bit mode. This has no influence on the capacity or precision of floating point numbers (4 or 8 byte real numbers), affecting only memory addressing, the usage of 32 or 64bit pointers. Obviously, programs requiring more than 4GB of memory have to use the 64bit addressing mode. It’s necessary to specify the addressing mode at compile and at link time, since the default mode is 32bit on Solaris and 64bit on Linux.
