Access to Software
Accessing Scientific Software (quarantine aka modules)
All computer systems have installed a standard suite of desktop productivity software (office, image maniupuation, web browser, etc.). If a readily available productivity software package is not installed and you wish to use it, open a support ticket to request installation.
Scientific sofware is deployed across all computers in the platform via shared network
drive, ensuring the same version of software is run on all machines during any kind of
cluster processing. To make multiple versions of software available, software is isolated
in seperate installation directories and access is managed via the
module
system.
The module
system allows for multiple versions to live side-by-side, for dependencies
between software to be specified, and for conflicting versions to be specified.
On which machines is the quarnantine available?
The software quarantine (aka modules) is available on workstation systems (cicwsNN
) and the compute nodes (ciccsNN
).
It is not available on the login or storage servers as scientific processing should not take place there.
The obtain a list of available software, run module avail
, below is an example generated
on 2021-06-09, the format of the naming below is <modulename>/<moduleversion>

To load a module, use the load command, module load <modulename>
which will load the deafault version (D)
if it is specified in the module
system, otherwise it will load the latest version. To load a specific version of a module, specify the version during loading,
module load <modulename>/<moduleversion>
.
Module Dependencies
If you try to load a module which has dependencies you have not yet satisfied, you will receive an error that will specify the dependencie and modules available that would satisfy it, each missing depndency stops the module loading so this may occur several times as you load all dependencies:
$ module load pyminc
pyminc/0.51(7):ERROR:151: Module 'pyminc/0.51' depends on one of the module(s) 'anaconda/miniconda3 anaconda/5.1.0-python3 anaconda/5.0.1-python3 anaconda/4.3.0-python2.7 anaconda/4.2.0-python3 anaconda/4.1.1 anaconda/2019.03-python3 anaconda/2.5 anaconda/2.3 anaconda/2.1.0 anaconda/2.0.1'
