8:58 PM - Ports work
This weekend, crash@ and I started updating Gnome ports to 2.22.3 (from 2.22.0). Not all Gnome related ports will be changed. Several bug fixes are included in this update.
We hope to have a magus run this week provided the updated cluster software is ready. ctriv@ has been working on parallel operation for nodes with more than one core. Some of the new GX270 dell systems the computer science department at Eastern Michigan University donated have hyperthreading. We also have 3 dual core systems with amd64 MidnightBSD available for runs (potentially). We may do a test run tomorrow if the software is ready. In this case, hyperthreading is beneficial. Often, the nodes are fetching files or in some way waiting on IO operations.
