But the availability of Fourier and Green in advance of Napier opens up several alternative paths for migration - an early start and a phased, incremental strategy will see you well placed to take full advantage of Napier when it becomes available. Compatibility with SGI compilers can be tested on Fourier, Green or even Fermat. Fourier is the vehicle of choice for single-node optimisation work on Itanium processors, but Green will be more appropriate for tuning parallel scalability. Training CSAR is enhancing its range of courses to cover various aspects of the Technology Refresh, including porting and optimisation issues. We urge all principal investigators to take advantage of our new Free Code Portability Assessment Programme.

We need your help to find out just how much work will the migration from Turing to Green involve. You can assist us by participating in the CSAR Technical Survey , and answering the questions to the best of your ability. Questionnaire nor with the CSAR User Survey. CSAR is committed to making the transition to green as smooth and painless as possible. With your cooperation, we will do just that.
