Abaca - Sofware description

Software

All software maintained by Abaca's team are provided as modules. They are updated and released regularly. Releases are available here.

This page is a preview of the next modules, they are not activated by default. You can activate them using the following commands on nodes/frontends:

unset MODULEPATH
module use /grid5000/guix-modules/x86_64/latest

If you want to activate the legacy non-free software you also need to run the following:

module use /grid5000/spack/modules-others/modules

If you want to use cuda you also need to set LD_PRELOAD manually in addition to loading the module:

export LD_PRELOAD="/usr/local/cuda/lib64/libcuda.so:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-ptxjitcompiler.so"

We're working on getting rid of this constraint before it's live by default.

Using past releases

Past releases are available for a few months after a new release is out. You can use them by unsetting the module path and picking the appropriate one:

unset MODULEPATH
module use /grid5000/guix-modules/x86_64/VERSION

You need to replace VERSION by the actual version you want to use. If you need to completely control your software environment, including reproductibility in the future, we encourage you to use Guix.
