Software applications

Access to applications is managed with modules. Refer to <placeholder> for detailed tutorial on modules but here is a quick list of commands that can be used on the AI cluster:

Code Block
# list all the available modules:
module avail
# list currently loaded modules:
module load <module_name>
# unload the module:
module unload <module_name>
# swap versions of the application
module swap <module_name>/<version1> <module_name>/<version2>
# unload all modules
module purge
# get help
module help
# get more info for a particular module
module help <module_name>
Info

If you can’t find an application that you need listed in the module avail command, contact scu@med.cornell.edu and request it to be installed on the cluster

Running jobs

Computational jobs on the AI cluster are managed with a SLURM job manager. We provide an in-depth tutorial on how to use SLURM <placeholder>, but some basic examples that are immediately applicable on the AI cluster will be discussed in this section.
