Which licencse / product to use coarrays on distributed memory?

[dan0112]

I would like to use coarrays on distributed memory architectures. I read in several documentations online on this forum and elsewhere that for this the "Intel Cluster Toolkit" is needed. However, our IT staff received notice that this product is not available anymore. So which product or licence do I need on our cluster? We do have the latest Intel Fortran Composer installed, but as far as I understood, that supports coarrays only on shared memory architectures?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

The article which comes up on this subject

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/distributed-memory-coarray-programs-with-process-pinning

appears to be outdated, as far as the product name is concerned.  Why don't the marketers think of such things when they change product alignments?

Parallel Studio Cluster Edition

would be the one which includes Fortran and MPI (as well as more components than Cluster Toolkit had).   There are separate versions for Windows and linux.

Thanks, that clarifies it but begs the next question:

if my institution owns the Composer XE (by the new name of Intel® Parallel Studio XE Composer Edition), is it possible to upgrade to the Cluster Edition by just paying the difference?

I think there was a limited time upgrade offer, but that was so long ago that adding multiple annual renewal fees would make it uninteresting even if it were still on offer.

An upgrade does exist - the Intel part number (SKU) is PCL999LSGU01X1P and the US price is $1049.  This is a promotional offer and I don't know how long it is good for.

I'll take care of updating the article Tim linked to.
