• Intel compilers are available. This includes c/c++/fortran/MKL. . These compilers are centrally licensed by Research Computing for the Stanford research community. Please contact us if you would like to incorporate these tools into your workflow.

To try it out you can build the MKL examples on the corn (corn31-40 are instal along with rye01/rye02

$ module load intel
$ cd /tmp
$ mkdir inteltest
$ cd inteltest
$ tar zxf $MKLROOT/examples/examples_core.tgz 
$ cd blas
$ make sointel64

corn

• Matlab 2013b and Matlab 2014a (module default)
• Sentarus sde now works on corn (and also on rye)
• Intel compilers are available on corn (see above)

rye

• rye01 will be upgraded to 7x C2070 tesla GPU on 5/6/2014

Restoring modules to system default

The system default contains no modules
  (env var: LMOD_SYSTEM_DEFAULT_MODULES is empty)
