Software
From FarmShare
There is a lot of software available on the FarmShare systems. The systems run Ubuntu, so a lot of Ubuntu packages are installed.
There is also some licensed software installed.
Don't use /usr/pubsw, we're trying to retire all of that tree.
Maybe use /usr/sweet/bin, though we're trying to move those.
modules
We use 'modules', a commonly used software package in HPC environments: http://modules.sourceforge.net/
Try something like this at the end of your .bashrc:
HOSTNAME=$(hostname) if [ "${HOSTNAME:0:4}" = "corn" ]; then #source farmshare modules echo "on a corn! try module avail" source /mnt/glusterfs/software/free/modules/tcl/init/bash fi
tracker
We use 'tracker', a Stanford-specific software, to track how many users use which software: http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/tracker/
