New computer has been installed at MEPhI Lxfarm cluster: lxfarm10. It has Xeon 2.8 GHz processor and 1 Gb RAM.
Please take into account that lxfarm10 is working under Scientific Linux CERN version 3.0.4, contrary to all other computers at Lxfarm (working under Red Hat Linux CERN version 7.3.X). It may cause a problems with running of some programs compiled under 7.3.X on lxfarm10. In this case you will need to recompile such a programs directly under lxfarm10.
Keep also in mind that we are going to move all Lxfarm computers to Scientific Linux soon.
