Notes:
*: Packages labelled as "available" on an HPC cluster means
that it can be used on the compute nodes of that cluster. Even software
not listed as available on an HPC cluster is generally available on the
login nodes of the cluster (assuming it is available for the
appropriate OS version; e.g. RedHat Linux 6 for the two Deepthought clusters).
This is due to the fact that the compute nodes do not use AFS and so have
copies of the AFS software tree, and so we only install packages as requested.
Contact us if you need a version
listed as not available on one of the clusters.
In general, you need to prepare your Unix environment to be able to use this software. To do this, either:
tap TAPFOO
module load MODFOO
where TAPFOO and MODFOO are one of the tags in the tap
and module columns above, respectively. The tap command will
print a short usage text (use -q to supress this, this is needed
in startup dot files); you can get a similar text with
module help MODFOO. For more information on
the tap and module commands.
For packages which are libraries which other codes get built against, see the section on compiling codes for more help.
Tap/module commands listed with a version of current will set up for what we considered the most current stable and tested version of the package installed on the system. The exact version is subject to change with little if any notice, and might be platform dependent. Versions labelled new would represent a newer version of the package which is still being tested by users; if stability is not a primary concern you are encouraged to use it. Those with versions listed as old set up for an older version of the package; you should only use this if the newer versions are causing issues. Old versions may be dropped after a while. Again, the exact versions are subject to change with little if any notice.
In general, you can abbreviate the module tags. If no version is given, the default current version is used. For packages with compiler/MPI/etc dependencies, if a compiler module or MPI library was previously loaded, it will try to load the correct build of the package for those packages. If you specify the compiler/MPI dependency, it will attempt to load the compiler/MPI library for you if needed.
