New Features
intel compilers
- Intel compilers are available. This includes c/c++/fortran/MKL. . These compilers are centrally licensed by Research Computing for the Stanford research community. Please contact us if you would like to incorporate these tools into your workflow.
To try it out you can build the MKL examples on the corn (corn31-40 and rye01/rye02 have intel cpus)
$ module load intel $ cd /tmp $ mkdir inteltest $ cd inteltest $ tar zxf $MKLROOT/examples/examples_core.tgz $ cd blas $ make sointel64
SAS
Newer versions of SAS expect you to configure a "remote browser". But it is not necessary, instead try
options helpbrowser=sas;
