Rust is a general-purpose programming language with an emphasis on performance, type safety, and concurrency. It enforces memory safety without a traditional garbage collector, preventing data races and memory safety errors via the "borrow checker". The Rust module provides rustc and cargo.
The following versions of Rust are available on OSC clusters:
The Cardinal cluster is now running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9, introducing several software-related changes compared to the RHEL 7 environment used on the Owens and Pitzer clusters. These updates provide access to modern tools and libraries but may also require adjustments to your workflows. Key software changes and available software are outlined in the following sections.
Overview of the High Bandwidth Memory on Cardinal's Dense compute nodes
The Cardinal cluster supports C, C++, and Fortran programming languages. The available compiler suites include Intel, oneAPI, and GCC. By default, the Intel development toolchain is loaded. The table below lists the compiler commands and recommended options for compiling serial programs. For more details and best practices, please refer to our compilation guide.
MVAPICH is a standard library for performing parallel processing using a distributed-memory model.
We can improve performace of python calculation by running python in parallel. In this turtorial we will be making use of the multithreading library to run python code in parallel.
The IPython kernel for a Conda/virtual environment must be installed on Jupyter prior to use. This tutorial will walk you though the installation and setup procedure.
OSC will be refreshing the software stack for Owens and Pitzer on May 19, 2020. This will be done in a system-wide downtime. During the software refresh, some default versions will be changed to be more up-to-date. Information about the new default versions, as well as all available versions of each software package will be included on the corresponding OSC software webpage. See https://www.osc.edu/supercomputing/software-list.
Apache Subversion is a full-featured version control system.
