Software
Contents
We currently have many commercial and freeware packages installed on our supercomputers. Online documentation and links to the vendor's website are available to TAMU computers and to computers using TAMU's VPN. Requests to use restricted software should be emailed to the HPRC helpdesk. Please also consult our Software Policy page for more information about acquiring and using restricted (EAR and ITAR) and licensed software on our clusters.
Finding Software
On our clusters, the software is available through the module system. Available software can be queried with:
- module avail or
- module spider.
A complete module listing for each cluster can be found here:
On our Linux workstations, a list of available packages can be queried with:
- rpm -qa | sort .
Temporary Files and Using the Home Directory
Many software packages create and manipulate temporary files during the execution of the program. These temporary files are commonly placed within your Home directory by default. You must remain aware of how much quota space is left within your Home directory at all times. If your Home directory is filled, attempts to write or modify temporary files will fail.
This may cause your jobs to terminate (be killed) or hang (do nothing, waste SUs).
The easiest way to avoid this issue is to store your files within your Scratch directory. Use cd $SCRATCH to navigate to your Scratch directory.
showquota will allow you to view your quota limits.
