Useful software installed on `philae.polito.it` includes:
|
|
|
|
- EDA tools for simulation, synthesis and backend, from the major providers (Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor Graphics, Xilinx, etc)
|
|
|
|
- Compute software such as Matlab and R
|
|
|
|
- Cross-compilation toolchains for ARM and RISC-V
|
|
|
|
- etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most of this software is installed in non-standard locations, and made available to users through the `module` command. In particular, each tool is associated with a module that, when loaded, sets the user environment variables needed to use it, and runs possible setup scripts. Modules also deal with versioning, dependencies and conflicts between different tools, and are shell independent, so that they can be used in bash, csh, zsh, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To list all available modules use the command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
module avail
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Modules referring to tools in `/space/tools` are listed as `tools/*`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to use a tool (e.g. python 2.7.10) issue one of these two equivalent commands:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
module load tools/python/2.7.10
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
module add tools/python/2.7.10
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To cleanup the environment removing all settings related to that particular tool, use:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
module unload tools/python/2.7.10
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
module rm tools/python/2.7.10
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To list all currently loaded modules, use:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
module list
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To unload all modules, use:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
module purge
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A complete guide on the module command (which supports many other sub-commands) can be found [here](http://modules.sourceforge.net/man/module.html).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notice that, if you do not specify a particular tool version, the default (latest) version is automatically loaded. For example, if you execute:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
module load tools/python
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The environment is setup to use the latest version of python (3.6.0).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To ease environment setup, **group modules** are also made available. These modules automatically load the environment related to a group of tools by provider. For instance:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
module load tools/cadence
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
loads all tools from Cadence Design Systems (to be precise,`tools/cadence` points to the `tools/cadence/all` submodule) .
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, two **global setup modules** are available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
+ **EDA Tools: `module load tools/edatools`**
|
|
|
|
+ Loads all Synopsys tools
|
|
|
|
+ Loads all Cadence tools
|
|
|
|
+ Loads all Mentor Graphics tools
|
|
|
|
+ Loads Mathworks MATLAB
|
|
|
|
+ Loads System C
|
|
|
|
+ **Bio Tools: `module load tools/biotools`**
|
|
|
|
+ Loads Mathworks MATLAB
|
|
|
|
+ Loads R (GNU S)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These two modules allow to setup the environment to use the most common EDA/Bioinformatics tools in **one single command**, which can also be added to a user's RC file (.bashrc or .cshrc) in order to automatically setup the environment upon login.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Modules are constantly kept up to date when newer versions of tools are installed on the server. If you discover that this is not the case, please let the sysadmins know.
