OS Change
On April 1 2024, we switched our Operating System from CentOS 7 to Rocky Linux 9.
If you had compiled your own software under CentOS (with or without our modules) you will likely need to recompile it to use it with the new operating system.
Using old software
Below is a script that will execute a container with all of the public software we provide under CentOS 7 from the head nodes. There may be versions of GPU-related packages missing.
#!/bin/bash
# This script is a wrapper for our CentOS 7 based container.
# You would use it something like this:
# sbatch -C os_el9 /opt/beocat/containers/beocat_centos-7.9.wrapper.sh ./R-hello_world.sh
# Note that you would need to provide an appropriate path for the script to to execute
# under the contained environnment (either a full path or a relative path), and the script
# would need to be executable.
# This is meant to be a stopgap measure for those that may be reliant on older software
# that we will not or cannot provide under our new operating system.
apptainer exec /opt/beocat/containers/beocat_centos-7.9.sif /bin/bash -l <<EOF
${@}
EOF
If you would prefer, you could put the apptainer exec lines in your script, with the commands you would like to run between the <<EOF and EOF sections.
There will be no good way to utilize these tools with multi-node jobs, so it would be a good idea to migrate away from the CentOS 7 tools as soon as possible.
