Modules in Puhti

This tutorial requires that you have a user account at CSC and it is a member of a project that has access to Puhti service.

  1. Log in to Puhti with your user credentials.
    ssh <your_csc_username>@puhti.csc.fi
    
  2. Check out which modules are loaded:
    module list
    
  3. Check what versions are available for Gromacs (note, that this might take a while, as the command searches through all the available modules):
    module spider gromacs
    
  4. Check the recommended versions (=versions compatible with your current environment):
    module avail gromacs-env
    
  5. Load the gromacs-env module, and check the loaded modules list again.
    module load gromacs-env
    module list
    

    Do you notice any changes?

  6. Switch to the GPU version of Gromacs, and check the situation.
    module load gromacs-env/2020-gpu
    module list
    
  7. Unload all modules:
    module purge
    
  8. Check the example batch job script for Gromacs to see how the module is recommended to be loaded there (first two lines after the #SBATCH commands and comments).
