Attention

GPU users: GPU nodes run EL9, while this documentation still reflects the EL7 software stack.

Run module avail on an EL9 login node, or within an interactive session on the relevant GPU type, to see the software available.

The documentation will be updated once all nodes have migrated to EL9.

NLopt

srun --pty bash -i

NLopt can be activated using one of:

module load NLopt/2.7.1-GCCcore-12.2.0
module load NLopt/2.7.1-GCCcore-11.3.0
module load NLopt/2.7.0-GCCcore-11.2.0
module load NLopt/2.6.2-GCCcore-10.2.0
module load NLopt/2.6.1-GCCcore-9.3.0
