Generally available software packages installed on the cherry-creek cluster

Because of the maintenance effort required, only packages of general interest to a majority of cherry-creek cluster users are installed on the system. If you need a specialized package, we recommend that you install it in your own storage area and include it in your search path.

The following software packages are installed on the cherry-creek cluster. If you want additional packages installed that are demonstrably of interest to a majority of our users, please send a help request the NSI staff and we will evaluate your request.

Most of the packages below need to be "activated" by including a modulefile in either your shell startup script or manually entered during your shell session.

Modules are activated by using the module load <name> command, for example:

module load gnu/gcc-4.9
module load R/3.2.2
module load intel intelmpi

If you specify a particular version number, that version of the package will be activated. If you do not specify a version number, then the default version of the package will be used. If multiple versions of a package are available, the default version will be shown in bold in the table below.

For a current list of the available modules: module avail.
For a list of your currently active modules: module list.
For more information on using module files, see: man module.

Here are some of the more commonly used packages. Note: There are many others, use the "module avail" command to see a list.
