SST 6.1.0 Released

SST v6.1.0 is now available and can be downloaded here

The SST v6.1.0 release follows the standard release process of having our point releases provide improved performance and stability. In this release, we have focused on many under the hood fixes to address bugs as well as improving predictive accuracy and simulation speed.

A selection of the improvement highlights are:

Core:

  • Several fixes for statistics handling on Mac OSX El-Capitan
  • Improvements in serialization engine to increase performance
  • SST registration systems now lock configuration files to prevent corruption

Elements:

  • Improved support for GoblinSim HMC Modeling
  • Additional accurate model ("Timing DRAM") for DDR/DRAM simulation have been added as native SST memory back ends
  • CramSim model (Memory Controller) developed by IBM Research is now added
  • Fixes for Debian Linux that created missing include file errors
  • Significant reduction in use of Boost within elements to enable compilation of most components without requiring the Boost third-party dependency
  • Additional statistics gathering in Ariel CPU model for operation types

SST-Macro:

  • Improved documentation in User's and Developer's manuals, including details on coarse-grained network models and SST/macro skeleton OS infrastructure
  • Expanded available MPI functions for skeleton apps, including non-blocking collectives
  • Bug fixes, including PDES fixes for running macro on SST-Core.
  • Improvements to network software stacks to support filesystem simulation and software-defined networking
  • Complete keyword listing in manual with improved machine configuration input format

SST-Docker Container:
