Owens Information Transition

Owens cluster will be decommissioned on February 3, 2025. Some pages may still reference Owens after Owens is decommissioned , and we are in the process of gradually updating the content. Thank you for your patience during this transition

Compilers

nvhpc

NVHPC, or NVIDIA HPC SDK, C, C++, and Fortran compilers support GPU acceleration of HPC modeling and simulation applications with standard C++ and Fortran, OpenACC® directives, and CUDA®. GPU-accelerated math libraries maximize performance on common HPC algorithms, and optimized communications libraries enable standards-based multi-GPU and scalable systems programming. Performance profiling and debugging tools simplify porting and optimization of HPC applications, and containerization tools enable easy deployment on-premises or in the cloud.

HOWTO: Use Address Sanitizer

Address Sanitizer is a tool developed by Google detect memory access error such as use-after-free and memory leaks. It is built into GCC versions >= 4.8 and can be used on both C and C++ codes. Address Sanitizer uses runtime instrumentation to track memory allocations, which mean you must build your code with Address Sanitizer to take advantage of it's features.

There is extensive documentation on the AddressSanitizer Github Wiki.

GNU Compilers

Fortran, C and C++ compilers produced by the GNU Project. 

Availability and Restrictions

Versions

The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) are available on all our clusters. These are the versions currently available:

Compilation Guide

As a general recommendation, we suggest selecting the newest compilers available for a new project. For repeatability, you may not want to change compilers in the middle of an experiment.

Pitzer Compilers

Intel Compilers

The Intel compilers for both C/C++ and FORTRAN.

Availability and Restrictions

Old Intel compiler licenses on Pitzer and for state-wide access with versions 19.1.3 and earlier will no longer be available from March 31, 2025. We are currently investigating options to mitigate the impact. More details will be posted soon, so please stay tuned. If you have any concerns, please contact OSC Help.
