License information

GSL is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).

See also the COPYING file in the source repository.

From LUMI/23/12 on, the COPYING file can also be found in the $EBROOTGSL/share/licenses/GSL subdirectory after loading the module.

User documentation

GSL does not yet work on the GPU nodes.

There are two versions of GSL, and they differ in the version of LibSci they actually link. Which version you need depends on the other components of your code. And you have to be consistent. Either all code that uses LibSci is compiled with OpenMP support or none of that code is compiled with OpenMP support (and the linking is also done with and without OpenMP support respectively).

  • The -sequential versions are for use with code that does not use OpenMP.
  • The OpenMP versions are for use with code that does use OpenMP.

Pre-installed modules (and EasyConfigs)

To access module help and find out for which stacks and partitions the module is installed, use module spider GSL/<version>.

Technical documentation

EasyBuild

Version 2.7 from CPE 21.06 on

  • The EasyConfig is a mix of the CSCS and Univerity of Antwerpen ones.

Version 2.7.1 from CPE 22.06 on

  • Build on the previous EasyConfig.

  • There are now versions with OpenMP enabled and without. When in doubt which one to use: One should never combine code compiled with the OpenMP version of LibSci with code with the sequential version (or likely any code compiled without OpenMP) as this causes runtime crashed.

  • For LUMI/23.12, additional license information was added to the installation.

Archived EasyConfigs

The EasyConfigs below are additonal easyconfigs that are not directly available on the system for installation. Users are advised to use the newer ones and these archived ones are unsupported. They are still provided as a source of information should you need this, e.g., to understand the configuration that was used for earlier work on the system.
