Hercules 2 : Environment Modules layout changes
As of December 1, 2020, the module layout on the Hercules cluster will be modified to follow the CÉCI standard.
Changelog
Please note the following changes:
Switching between releases
To switch between releases, you should use the command ml load releases/YYYYx instead of ml load YYYYx where YYYYx = 2016b, 2017a, ...
You can still use ml load YYYYx but its use is strongly discouraged.
Default release
The default release is now version 2019b.
The previous default release remains accessible using the command ml load releases/2016b
Module Spider
The ml spider command will search for modules in all releases.
Legacy software
The "legacy" software remains available using the ml load legacy command although it is strongly recommended to use the versions present in the releases.
Preview
You can already test this new features by creating the file ".enable_module_ceci_layout" at you homedir's root, then log out and log in again.
