I am suddenly getting an error while precompiling the OrdinaryDiffEq package. I am using Julia on a cluster and it had been working fine until last night. But I tried to run my code using it and I get the following error :

```julia

What is the output of

```julia
using Pkg
Pkg.status()

```

?  
And which CPUs are you using in your cluster? Are all the same?

Remove DiffEqSensitivity. That was deprecated a long time ago. What led you to add it?

This suggests some heterogeneous CPUs in the cluster. You may need to use rhe environment variable `JULIA_CPU_TARGET` to force Julia to compile for multiple architectures when caching to disk.

Another workaround is to use `--pkgimages=no` command line option.

I haven’t updated my code in some time and this might have been there since the beginning.  
It is a little weird, I shut my session on the cluster and restarted it and my program compiled successfully.  
A few days later I encountered a similar error even on removing the DiffEqSensitivity package, that went away on restarting the session. Currently just working and hoping this doesn’t show up again.
