AM summary of current status of devel stack:
- Better performance, scalability, reduced DB traffic, batching of requests
- Expect some minor configuration and compatibility issues, due to agent refactoring
- Termination issues are now pushed back to the client (so expect to see these!)
- All recommended to move to devel, open tickets for any problems/questions

Discussed GPU support. No immediate work needed, wait for Berlin to start using Titan and respond. Proper support for GPUs will come in a later release, not in 0.46
MT raised lack of clarity around config naming (e.g. _orte, _ortelib), but some of the default configs use SSH or on of these. Suggested rationalising names to have _ssh, _orte and _ortelib, to force the user to make a choice rather than being subject to whatever default might be set. IB to open a ticket for this
MT mentioned that XSEDE access seemed to be using SSH rather than GSISSH - his jobs are asking for a password. Please open a ticket to investigate.
