Overview

On this page, you will find information about pre-installed software on VSC as well as guidance on ways to install additional software yourself.


Currently we use SPACK to provide our software installations.

There are three separate spack installation trees corresponding to the CPU/GPU architectures on VSC:

  • skylake - Intel CPUs; works on Intel Skylake and Cascadelake CPUs
  • zen - AMD CPUs; works on Zen 2 and 3 CPUs
  • cuda-zen - AMD CPUs + NVIDIA GPUs; works on all nodes equipped with graphics cards

By default the spack installation tree suitable for the current compute/login node is activated and will be indicated by a prefix on the command line, e.g.:

zen [user@l51 ~]$
