ILOG CPLEX 10.2 Release Notes > ILOG CPLEX 10.2 Release Notes > Announcement: Port Changes

This release features support for a number of recent compiler and operating system versions. For a complete list of machine types and library formats (including version numbers of compilers and JDKs) available in the current release, see the file yourCPLEXhome/mptable.html.

This release of ILOG CPLEX also includes several port changes affecting Intel IA-64 (Itanium) systems and IBM Power architecture. Table 1 summarizes these changes.

For Intel IA-64 (Itanium) systems, Red Hat Enterprise Linux is no longer supported. (RHEL is still supported on other architecture.) The recommended replacement on Intel IA-64 (Itanium) is SuSE Linux Enterprise Server, a new port.

For IBM Power architecture systems, AIX 5.1 with IBM Visual Age C++ 6.0 is no longer supported. The recommended replacement is AIX 5.2 (or higher) with IBM XL C/C++ 7.0 or 8.0.

HP UX 11i on Intel IA-64 (Itanium) is available in this release, and customers can expect future support of this port, contrary to the announcement in a previous release.

In the next release of ILOG CPLEX, no Microsoft Windows operating systems will be supported on Intel IA-64 (Itanium) systems. However, Microsoft operating systems will be supported on other architecture.

Port inquiries may be directed to the ILOG CPLEX Product Manager at cplex-productmgr@ilog.fr.
