Code Server
Code Server provides a browser-based instance of Visual Studio Code, enabling users to write, edit, and run code directly on OSC cluster resources without local installation.
Programming
OpenAI Python
OpenAI Python is the package used by python to access OpenAI's Ai models. OpenAI python provides support for OpenAI's REST API, It also provides synchronous and asynchronous sessions clients.
Availability and Restrictions
OpenAI python is currently available on the following clusters.
Using Software on Pitzer RHEL 7
While OSC has upgraded the Pitzer cluster to RHEL 9, you may encounter difficulties when migrating jobs from RHEL 7 to the new system. To help you continue your research, we provide a containerized RHEL 7 environment on Pitzer RHEL 9. This container replicates the original RHEL 7 system and software environment used on Pitzer.
Note: This containerized RHEL7 environment is a temporary solution and may be terminated at any time without prior notice.
Pitzer Programming Environment
Compilers
The Pitzer cluster (on RHEL 9) supports C, C++, and Fortran programming languages. The available compiler suites include Intel, oneAPI, and GCC. By default, the Intel development toolchain is loaded. The table below lists the compiler commands and recommended options for compiling serial programs. For more details and best practices, please refer to our compilation guide.
Pitzer Software Environment
The Pitzer RHEL 9 cluster (hereafter referred to as "Pitzer") is now running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9, introducing several software-related changes compared to the RHEL 7 environment used on the Pitzer. These updates provide access to modern tools and libraries but may also require adjustments to your workflows. Key software changes and available software are outlined in the following sections.
Intel MPI
Intel's implementation of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) library. See Intel Compilers for available compiler versions at OSC.
Ruby
Ruby is a dynamic, open source programming language with a focus on simplicity and productivity.
Availability and Restrictions
Versions
The following versions of ruby are available on OSC clusters:
Ascend Software Environment
The Next Gen Ascend (hereafter referred to as “Ascend”) cluster is now running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9, introducing several software-related changes compared to the RHEL 7/8 environment used on the Pitzer and original Ascend cluster. These updates provide access to modern tools and libraries but may also require adjustments to your workflows. Key software changes and available software are outlined in the following sections.
Rust
Rust is a general-purpose programming language with an emphasis on performance, type safety, and concurrency. It enforces memory safety without a traditional garbage collector, preventing data races and memory safety errors via the "borrow checker". The Rust module provides rustc and cargo.
Availability and Restrictions
Versions
The following versions of Rust are available on OSC clusters:
Cardinal Software Environment
The Cardinal cluster is now running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9, introducing several software-related changes compared to the RHEL 7 environment used on the Pitzer cluster. These updates provide access to modern tools and libraries but may also require adjustments to your workflows. Key software changes and available software are outlined in the following sections.
