Background

This page provides a high-level summary of NLPL-specific software installed on either of our two systems. As a rule of thumb, NLPL aims to build on generic software installations provided by the system maintainers (e.g. development tools and libraries that are not discipline-specific), using the modules infrastructure. For example, an environment like OpenNMT is unlikely to be used by other disciplines, and NLPL stands to gain from in-house, shared expertise that comes with maintaining a project-specific installation. On the other hand, the CUDA libraries are general extensions to the operating system that most users of deep learning frameworks on gpus will want to use; hence, CUDA is most appropriately installed by the core system maintainers. Frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow, arguably, present a middle ground to this rule of thumb: In principle, they are not discipline-specific, but in mid-2018 at least the demand for installations of these frameworks is strong within NLPL, and the project will likely benefit from growing its competencies in this area.

Module Catalogue

Add the NLPL directory of module configurations:

  • on Taito:
module use -a /proj/nlpl/software/modulefiles/
  • on Abel:
module use -a /projects/nlpl/software/modulefiles/
