Marconi – modules optimized for knl nodes

Dear users, some of the modules currently available on MARCONI have been recompiled and are now optimized for knl nodes. You can find the list of these modules by typing the following command:
modmap -p knl
The executable available by loading one of these modules is compatible with both bdw and knl partitions, so in order to use it on knl or bdw nodes you just have to load the corresponding domain profile and module.
The name of the executable is the same for both bdw and knl partition.
For example, in order to use “vasp” application on bdw nodes the steps are:
module load profile/phys
module load autoload vasp/5.4.1
mpirun vasp-std

In order to use “vasp” on knl nodes the steps are the same:
module load profile/phys
module load autoload vasp/5.4.1
mpirun vasp-std The knl modules list is being updated, so other modules can be soon added to it.
