Helping collaborators write a cluster module for deal.II

[Wells, David]

Hi everyone,

I'm working with a group at another university on a deal.II-powered project (yay). I'd like to set things up as a module (i.e., do module load dealii/9.5.1) so that everyone there is using the same version of everything.

Are there any published versions of deal.II modules for various Linux distributions? Every cluster is different but it would be super helpful to see what other people have done to install deal.II and dependencies in this situation.

Best,

David Wells

Dear David,

The Digital Alliance of Canada (Compute Canada) has deal.II on their cluster through the use of the module system:

https://docs.alliancecan.ca/wiki/Available_software

You could reach out to them and ask them for their module file. They are generallly very chill.

If you need help reaching out, ask me and I can write to them with you in CC.

Best

Bruno

David,

spack can be used to build and export modules:
https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/module_file_support.html

candi also generates a module file (but I have to admit I never used it and I am not sure how/if it works):
https://github.com/dealii/candi/blob/dc8e8d348533072bc189f5b52e6e9cd63956a22e/deal.II-toolchain/packages/dealii.package#L355

Rene Gassmoeller has built TACC docker/singularity containers of deal.II and ASPECT to run on supercomputers, so you can ask him about that option.
