------ | ===== Mellanox UCX and Open MPI on DARWIN ===== |
| |
| During early-access testing of the DARWIN cluster several users reported issues with their MPI jobs' crashing unexpectedly in code locations that worked on previous clusters (like Caviness). The [[technical:whitepaper:darwin_ucx_openmpi|full troubleshooting and mitigation]] of the issue should be instructive for DARWIN users who attempt to build and manage their own Open MPI libraries on DARWIN. |

| ===== /dev/shm exhaustion ===== |
| |
| As time goes by, the ''/dev/shm'' filesystem on compute nodes can fill with orphaned files. Without swap matching the amount of RAM in the node, these files will begin putting pressure on subsequent applications that run on the node. In [[technical:whitepaper:automated_devshm_cleanup|Automated /dev/shm cleanup]], a method of removing orphaned files from ''/dev/shm'' is outlined. |

| ===== R: runtime configurable BLAS/LAPACK ===== |
| |
| The R statistical computing software can be built atop a variety of BLAS and LAPACK libraries -- including its own internal //Rblas// and //Rlapack// libraries. Creating alternate builds of R that vary ONLY in the identity of the underlying BLAS/LAPACK implementation can consume extremely large amounts of disk space (and time!). The [[technical:whitepaper:r-runtime-blas-lapack|runtime-configurable R BLAS/LAPACK whitepaper]] documents the scheme used on our latest HPC cluster to make the choice of library a runtime configurable option. |
