Intel® Cluster Checker 1.3 Update 2 is an update release of the Intel® Cluster Checker.  This release includes several new and updated features compared to Intel® Cluster Checker 1.3 (see product documentation for more details).

The highlights of this release include:

  • Optimized the HPCC* benchmark for the Intel(R) Xeon(TM) Processor 5500 series. 
  • Identification of outlier nodes with respect to performance.   
  • Option to automatically retry failing performance checks.  The performance check is repeated until it passes or the specified number of attempts is exceeded. 
  • Additional options to allow exceptions to the hardware homogeneity checks.  Also, additional fields that are known to vary from node to node are automatically excluded (e.g., the apic_id field in /proc/cpuinfo). 
  • Support for hierarchical configuration files using XInclude*.
  • Extended support for groups.  Logical combinations of node groups may be defined using ‘AND’ and ‘OR’.  The matrix (all-to-all) check class can now take advantage of groups.
  • Extended operating system support for the --sales-report command line option.
