Technical documentation

General information

  • GNU parallel is just a bunch of Perl scripts. There are no compiled binaries.

EasyBuild

Version 20230222 using the system perl.

  • For LUMI we followed the EasyConfig in use at UAntwerpen that uses the OS-provided Perl as this seems sufficient to run GNU parallel.

  • All shebangs where checked to have /usr/bin/perl hard-coded rather then /usr/bin/env perl to avoid using another PErl binary that may be loaded via a module.

  • Extensive documentation is also taken from the UAntwerpen module.

Version 20230222 using the system perl.

  • Trivial version bump of the EasyConfig for 20230222.

Version 20231022 using the system perl.

  • Trivial version bump of the EasyConfig for 20231022.
