Announcements

• SIMD-enabled code disabled: But only for 32-bit Linux machines. The problem seem to be a bug in version 4.2.1 gcc compiler which is the default for the Lab's desktop Linux boxes. The code does not have a problem on any other platform.
• Make "docs" area of subversion repository require authentication on checkout: We are not going to do this.

Review of minutes from the last meeting

We reviewed the minutes of the July 13 Offline meeting.

• OSG Toolkit: Mark mentioned that Richard Jones has written [??? the documentation on the OSG client software] that was requested by IT Division before opening the necessary network ports at the Lab.
• Software Workshop: David reported that the proposal is due to JSA next Friday. It has been circulated among the committee and the final draft is waiting on some numbers from Ed Brash.
• 48-core machine: It is gone now. David ran some stuff, and captured some performance counters. There is a lot of data there, next step: analysis.
