Processor architectures
Talapas2 is comprised of nodes from multiple separate purchases over the course of several years. Therefore, it has several generations of processors from multiple (Intel and AMD) vendors.

Software
Some existing software will run fine on the new cluster.
...
Generally, issues would be due to differences with the new shared libraries in RHEL8. If you compile software in a way that specifically assumes one architecture (i.e. Intel IceLake) it might not run on all nodes.
LMOD
We’ll provide all software centrally available, including conda environments, through LMOD.

Conda
Talapas2 uses miniconda-t2 miniconda3 and new conda environments will be built with this base environment. If you have personal conda environments, you might need/want to recreate them using miniconda-t2 miniconda3. Note that using existing Conda environments on either cluster should work fine - it’s making changes that might cause problems.
| Info |
|---|
Note: miniconda-t2 is being deprecated in favor of miniconda3 which include the libmamba solver |
To use the libmamba solver include --solver=libmamba in your conda create or conda env create command line.
Spack
Talapas2 uses spack-rhel8 and software provided centrally by this platform will built using this instance with gcc 13.1.0 on Intel Broadwell nodes.
