supermon / News: Recent posts

The supermon project (as you may have noticed) is currently idle, and no active development is occurring. We hope to add in some work that was performed at the University of Oregon in the last year, and do a new release with that code in the near future. Also note that supermon@lanl.gov is no longer active, and the new contact address is supermon-devel@lists.sourceforge.net. The supermon developers have all left LANL, so the email address there was deleted.

Release notes: Kernel 2.6 support, many bug fixes, sexpr 1.0.1 library update, various sensor modules added and updated, client API updates, fltk GUI updates. This is an intermediate release - another release that addresses outstanding issues with kernel symbols and the data API should be out by SC2005. This release has been tested with the 2.6.8 and 2.6.9 (bproc) kernel versions using Suse 9.2. Please email any issues, bugs, and patches related to this release to supermon@lanl.gov or matt@lanl.gov.

The new supermon web page has been uploaded to http://supermon.sourceforge.net/

This release addresses a few bugs that were present in the 1.4beta - this release is highly recommended to replace that one. Issues with stability of supermon and mon were fixed, a basic implementation of the monhole has been added to mon, various client fixes have been applied, and general cleanup in other places has taken place. This release corresponds with the LACSI-03 tutorial release of the clustermatic software suite.

See file release entry for details.

Supermon 1.3 is available. It includes software using the most recent, updated supermon s-expression protocol. In addition, initial versions of the monhole are available, as is a very early version of a GTK based GUI.

Supermon is included now with the Black Lab v2.1 software from Terra Soft Solutions, Inc. for the Power PC architecture. More information can be found at http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/products/blacklab/.
