Setting up an Ubuntu 18.04 system for #retroHPCcomputing computing is fun. Some packages require build from source but they work quite well after eg updating cmake

Update on my #retroHPCcomputing project: it seems the first pcie slot is dead, but the X99 mobo has 7 slots, so this is not a big deal. Shown also the #XeonPhi the old Tesla #Nvidia c2075, the gt960 with its riser cable (prior to vertical install on the enthoo 719 case) & the RAID array.
I opted for Centos 7.3 as an initial choice to compile the Phi stack (will likely move to Alma 8 as I found instructions to compile the stack on CentOs 8 relatives). Hopefully, I have #OneApi 2021.2 somewhere

I am getting close to finishing my #retrohpccomputing project based on my 10 year old 40 PCIE lane #intel i7, a nvidia tesla (c2070) a #xeonphi and a GTX 960 thrown for good measure. Gave the old folk a fancy phanteks retirement home and a 1650W PSU to power em up & lots of fans!
