SST 10.0.0 Released

SST v10.0.0 is now available and can be downloaded here

The SST v10.0.0 release follows the standard release process of having our point releases provide improved performance and stability.

A selection of the improvement highlights are:

General:

• SST v10.0.0 includes several major infrastructure updates including Python3, OpenMPI 4.0.3, and Pin3 support.
• Support for several features deprecated in prior releases is removed; see Migration Guide for details

SST-Core:

• Added support for Python3
• Generalized statistics model to support custom output formats and visualizations
• Additional Python options for configuring statistics on SubComponents
• Remove backward compatibility paths for features deprecated in SST 9.0 and before
• Fixes known issues with OneShot events; these events are no longer available for Element use
• Support for Pin3 IPC tunnels
• Added '--enable-preview-build' configure switch which disables deprecated features
• Support for adding additional send latency on links
• Added convenience functions for handling fatal errors, including new assert-style conditional fatal function
• Removed leftover references to Boost

SST-Elements:

• Expanded QoS support in Merlin
• Added Pin3 support to Ariel and Prospero. Due to incompatibilities with Pin3, compressed tracing (Prospero), compressed memory allocation tracking (Ariel/MemSieve), and the Ariel/GPGPU-Sim integration require Pin2. All other features are supported with Pin3.
• Improved Merlin Python module, including Python3 support
• Added support for multiple virtual networks in Firefly
• Ariel frontend (i.e., dynamic trace input) is now isolated into sub-component interface for improved customizability
• Removed PyProto element
• Removed Vanadis element
• Scheduler element is deprecated
• Substantial updates to memHierarchy caches and directories to improve model fidelity, enable greater customization, and enhance debugging infrastructure
• Fixes for known bugs in memHierarchy's NonInclusive MESI coherence protocol

SST-Macro:

• Miscellaneous bug fixes and performance improvements
• Added new contention models for quality-of-service
• Added new network statistics and visualizations
• Improved auto-skeletonizer stability and ease-of-use
