11/15/13, from email sent to Roald, by Oliver:

• We are still working to learn how much of the Intel package components your group needs/ wants, and to what degree a non-current version might meet their needs in case we don't need to invest in the most recent version

The rest of the email:

I believe we have a short-term answer to address your group's need for the Intel compiler. This temporary solution will work as long as we are earnestly working on a long-term solution.

When you return, I would appreciate discussing options to meet your long-term needs cost-effectively. Michael Hint and I have some imaginative ideas, but some involve coordinating with other CCB researchers (Scheraga and Ananth).

Michael Hint learned the difference between a single user license and the 2-person concurrent licenses. The answer (below) informs one of our ideas, if you care to read it before we meet. But no problem if you don't get to it since I  can summarize when I discuss our ideas.

==================================

Next steps

• Meet to review all options and confirm desired direction and expected timing.
• Review resources. Huayun Gen has cluster management experience, including set-up.
