Introduction

This is the catalog for HPC applications on Carbon. Applications are often referred to as modules because they are managed using the Environment Modules package.

You, the user, must select ("load") the modules that you wish to use, possibly down to a specific version. An exception to this are a handful of basic modules that are pre-loaded when you log in.

You can access this catalog on Carbon itself using the following commands to show all available modules, one-line summaries, and longer descriptions (usually with copyrights and links), respectively:

module avail [name]
module whatis [name]
module help name

Table of Contents

Index
A compact list of packages, grouped by function.
Summaries
Package names, one-line summaries, and all available versions. The version shown in bold is the default (the version that is loaded when no specific version is given in the command line).
Descriptions
Long descriptions and package home URLs. Versions are listed separately if the descriptions differ.
package names in blue lead to additional instructions.
package names in red means no additional instructions are available. Inspect the package home directory after loading the module.
