If you have scripts </font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> that use iterate, please read </font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/swift/guides/release-0.94/userguide/userguide.html#_iterate </font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">- Walltimes are more strictly enforced by coasters. Previous to Swift version </font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> 0.94, if an application run with coasters would exceed its specified </font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> maxwalltime, it would be allowed to continue to execute. However, if this </font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> would cause the worker on which the application was running to exceed its </font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> maxwalltime, the queuing system would kill the worker. The resulting error </font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> message was not always very clear. Since version 0.94 coaster workers enforce</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> the user-specified maxwalltime. If an application exceeds its maxwalltime, </font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> the coaster worker will not allow it to continue, but terminate it and report</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> the error.</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">- Swift will now use camel case for functions, for example, @toInt instead of </font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> @toint. The previous naming convention will still work, but you may see </font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> deprecated warnings.</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">- Associative arrays have been added.

Many settings formerly only definable in sites.xml can now</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> be set on a per-app basis. This can make things easier when running</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> multiple apps that have different requirements for settings like processors</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> per node and wallitme. </font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/swift/guides/release-0.94/userguide/userguide.html#_dynamic_profiles</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">- Added a new ssh command line provider. Previously ssh support was done by </font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> creating a file called ~/.ssh/auth.defaults. The ssh command line provider</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> is more flexible and doesn't require this step. ssh-cl allows you to use</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> SSH agents. You can use ssh-cl by adding something like this to your sites.xml:</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> <execution provider="coaster" url="my.host.uchicago.edu" jobmanager="ssh-cl:pbs"/></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">- Many fixes and improvements to improve the reliability and performance of</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> coaster provider staging.</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">- Added support for the Slurm scheduler</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">- Added support for the LSF scheduler</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">- Improvements to condor provider (non-shared jobtype and more flexibility </font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> to define what gets added to the submit script).</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">- Fixes for the textual user interface (TUI). Adding the -tui option to the swift </font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> command line allows you to monitor progress in a curses based menu. A brief</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"> example of this can be found at http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/~davidk/modis.ogv.</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">- Added the ability to call Java methods within swift using @java.
