Available Software Environments

This page outlines the software stacks available to the users and the module manager used to load in the desired software.

EasyBuild Stacks

The available EasyBuild stack dependancies are linked against the OS libraries and drivers using EasyBuild. A stack tree starts with a compiler environment (i.e. GCC-version). The stacks are managed with the module manager Lmod. In general it is enough to load a software module to make the software ready for use. Loading in the module correctly append the necessary binary paths and loads all dependencies.

In order to make use of a compiler environment to compile your own software several modules may have to be loaded at once. See here for compiling / development instructions.

Using Lmod

The main command for using the manager is module (or ml for short). A list of options is available by typing:

[..]$ module --help

To see a list of avalable modules type:

[..]$ module avail

For a complete list, which includes dependencies of all of the software, type:

[..]$ module --show-hidden avail

This command can also be used to list specific software and all available versions, for example:

[..]$ module avail GCCcore
   GCCcore/7.4.0    GCCcore/8.3.0    GCCcore/11.2.0    GCCcore/11.3.0    GCCcore/12.2.0    GCCcore/12.3.0    GCCcore/13.2.0    GCCcore/13.3.0 (D)

Loading Modules

To load a module type:

[..]$ module load GCCcore

In this particular case it will load the (D)efault module. To list the currently loaded modules type:

[..]$ module list
Currently Loaded Modules:
  1) GCCcore/13.3.0

You can load in as many modules at any time as you please. Note that some modules may conflict with each other.

If you wish to switch from one particular version to another type:

[..]$ module switch GCCcore/13.3.0 GCCcore/11.3.0

To unload a module type:

[..]$ module unload GCCcore

If you wish to clear your whole list of currently loaded modules type:

[..]$ module purge

Storing Module Environments

When you have loaded in a set of modules which you frequently use for your work it can be a good idea to store the set, for example:

[..]$ module save env1                                                   

where env1 is just an example name. In a later session you can reload the desired set of modules by typing:

[..]$ module restore env1

To see a list of stored module sets type:

[..]$ module savelist
Named collection list :
  1) default  2) env1

Pre-built environments

Note:The information below is outdated. We are in the process of deprecating the old libraries : libsci-gcc, libbio-gpu and lib-mimir. Please have a look at Lib-Edda.

Some package environments are loaded in by default, others need to be loaded in manually. See the list of pre-built package environments described below.

libsci-gcc

The libsci-gcc tree provides a compilation of free and open source software providing commonly used numerical libraries for scientific software and applications. It starts with GCC-11.2.0, and is located in /hpcapps/libsci-gcc/.
