Omnipath and CentOS 7.4

Post by akira9a » 2017/10/06 16:46:46

Dear CentOS gurus,
In our astrophysics research team, we plan to buy a small cluster (that will grow) of 6 machines with an omnipath network.
The forseen OS would be CentOS 7.4.
Our system manager is worried that the current software package for the Omnipath card stops at CentOS 7.3.

How can we go forward ? Shall we install CentOS 7.3 ? Can we hope that there will be a release of this package for CentOS 7.4 soon ?

Any help or idea is welcome !
I am the astro-guy, my understanding of computing is a bit limited but I try to get the implications of the HW decisions we make.

In case somebody is running into the same issue, Intel told me that they will support Centos 7.4 in the next release for the OPA HFI : 10.6.
Release date is still unknown though.

New info from Intel :
The new version (with CentOS 7.04 support) is expected in late Oct 17.
