Hi all,
Is there a way for easybuild to tell me what are the toolchains
which it currently sees as installed on the system ?
Note that we have a custom naming scheme, and that we hide
toolchains to users.
Well, there are several options, although none of them are probably
the answer you are looking for.
EasyBuild will symlink modules back to modules/all based on the
moduleclass, so (at least with the default module naming scheme) you
could use something like:
find $EASYBUILD_PREFIX/modules/toolchain | sed 's@.*/\(.*/.*\)@\1@g'
We don't have a modules/toolchain folder.
Another way is to compose a list of all toolchain easyconfigs, and
then use "eb -D <list of easyconfigs> | grep '\[x\]' ".
Although that would also include all toolchain components (and their
dependencies).
Maybe it helps if you provide some more context?
Why do you need this exactly?
I want to be able to tell our staff what are the toolchains (and
sub-toolchains) they can install a software with without having to
install a new toolchain. With the toolchain components, it becomes a
pretty long list pretty quickly.
For example, we currently have:
*
The following toolchains are currently available to use:
*
Core toolchain:
o
dummy,dummy : “Core” uses only components provided by Nix (GCC
5.4.0)
*
Compiler only toolchains:
o
iccifort,2016.4.258
o
iccifort,2017.1.132
o
GCC,4.8.5
o
GCC,5.4.0
*
Compiler + MKL toolchains:
o
iimkl,2016.4 : (Intel 2016.4 + MKL)
o
iimkl,2017a : (Intel 2017 + MKL)
*
Compiler + MPI toolchains:
o
iompi,2016.4 (Intel compiler 2016.4, OpenMPI 2.0.2)
o
iompi,2017a (Intel compiler 2017, OpenMPI 2.0.2)
o
gompi,2017a (GCC Compiler 5.4.0, OpenMPI 2.0.2)
*
Compiler + MPI + MKL toolchains:
o
iomkl,2016.4 : (Intel 2016.4, OpenMPI 2.0.2, MKL)
o iomkl,2017a : (Intel 2017, OpenMPI 2.0.2, MKL)
*
and the list will keep growing.
The proper way would be making --list-toolchains a bit more intelligent,
and maybe support the notion of --list-available-toolchains or something
like that.
For now, this seems to be doing what you're after:
module avail $(eb --list-toolchains | grep -v "List of known" | cut
-f1 -d: | sed 's@$@/@g' | tr '\n' ' ')
i.e.:
i) obtain a list of known toolchain names via --list-toolchains
ii) make sure to append a / after each name
iii) check which modules are available for those toolchains
I'm not sure whether this will work for you since you're hiding
toolchains from users. Maybe "module avail --show-hidden" suffices?
In any case: Maxime, please open a feature request to support this more
easily via --list-toolchains or some derivative.
regards,
Kenneth
