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.

OpenBLAS

OpenBLAS is one of the BLAS implementations installed on Stanage. It also provides some optimised LAPACK routines.

Usage

After connecting to Stanage (see Establishing a SSH connection), start an interactive session with the following command:

srun --pty bash -i

OpenBLAS can be activated using one of:

module load OpenBLAS/0.3.23-GCC-12.3.0
module load OpenBLAS/0.3.21-GCC-12.2.0
module load OpenBLAS/0.3.20-GCC-11.3.0
module load OpenBLAS/0.3.18-GCC-11.2.0
module load OpenBLAS/0.3.15-GCC-10.3.0
module load OpenBLAS/0.3.12-GCC-10.2.0
module load OpenBLAS/0.3.9-GCC-9.3.0
module load OpenBLAS/0.3.7-GCC-8.3.0
module load OpenBLAS/0.3.1-GCC-7.3.0-2.30

module load OpenBLAS/0.3.21-GCC-12.2.0
module load OpenBLAS/0.3.20-GCC-11.3.0
module load OpenBLAS/0.3.18-GCC-11.2.0

which also loads a version of the GCC compiler. See matching foss toolchains
