Spack Modules Release 22.2.1

Note: The software stack spack/release/22.2.1 will be a stable rollout. The default software stack will be "Spack/release/22.2.1" and the previous software stack "release 22.1.1" will be available too. The software stack (Spack/release/22.2.1) will contain newer compilers, MPI, MKL libraries, and additional software. Please refer below for a detailed list of major and minor changes to the software stack.

E.g. intel19, intel21

compiled with the Intel 21 (major version) compiler suite 

-gcc<version>

E.g. gcc11, gcc9

compiled with the gcc 11 (major version) compiler suite 
-impiwith MPI support (Intel MPI)
-ompi

with MPI support (OpenMPI)

-openmpwith threading support by OpenMP

-i32 / -i64

Example:

fgsl/1.3.0-gcc11-ompi

fgsl/1.3.0-intel21-impi

  • Generic installations for many packages are installed under the x86_64 tree.
    • These include compilers (gcc, nvhpc, nag, intel), tools (git, tmux,...), and graphics packages.
  • Application packages, performance libraries, and MPI parallel packages are installed in haswell, skylake-avx512, mic-knl trees.


MPI Module name

Available versions are,

intel-mpi/2019.12.320 (default)

intel-mpi/2018.4.274

openmpi/4.1.2 (default)

openmpi/4.0.7

openmpi/3.1.6

  • Version 2018.x is provided but it is not supported by Intel on SLES15; use at own risk
  • Intel MPI Module with GCC compatibility is suffixed by gcc, 

intel-mpi/version-gcc

intel-mpi/2019.10.317

intel-mpi/2018.4.274

intel-mpi/2019.10.317

intel-mpi/2018.4.274

MKL Module name

Available versions are,

intel-mkl/2018.4.274

intel-mkl/2019.5.281

intel-mkl/2020.4.304

Note: specific linking variables can be obtained by providing module alias names with the corresponding suffixes
also the "fftw" interface can be activated this way.

intel-mkl/2018.4.274

intel-mkl/2019.5.281

intel-mkl/2020.1.217

intel-mkl/2018.4.274

intel-mkl/2019.5.281

intel-mkl/2020.1.217

Modules Alias
  • Module alias names are used to provide default versions for a package or a major version.
  • They point to installed modules with full version numbering.
  • Use the "module aliases" command to get an overview.
  • Module alias names are used to provide certain variants of a software module,
  • e.g.
    • intel-mpi/2019-gcc provides the gcc, enables the compiler wrappers mpicc, mpif90,...
    • intel-mpi/2019-intel provides the icc, ifort enabled wrappers although both point to the same module.
  • Users can define their own alias names to get specific module provided variables,
  • e.g.
    • intel-mkl/2020-seq to obtain environment variables to link mkl with sequential support


Python modules

Available versions are,

python/3.7.11-base 

python/3.7.11-extended 

python/3.8.11-base 

python/3.8.11-extended

Please check the python documentation.
The old intel python modules are still available but need to be loaded explicitly.
