EESSI on IT4I¶

Pilot Project

Please note that the EESSI is a pilot project that is not ready for production. and we do not guarantee its correct functionality.

You can see the list of issues and report bugs on the project's issue GitHub page.

The EESSI project is available on login, cn, and acn nodes on both Barbora and Karolina.

To use the EESSI software installations, load the environment using the command:

source /cvmfs/pilot.eessi-hpc.org/latest/init/bash

You can then use the ml av command to see the list of all EESSI and IT4I modules. EESSI modules will be listed first:
