Technical documentation

The distribution of this code is a mess with a GitLab repository without tags and unclear versions on the home page so we simply follow the state in EasyBuild.

EasyBuild

Version 20210414 for CPE 21.06

  • The EasyConfig is derived from the EasyBuilders one with some elements taken from the University of Antwerpen one.

Version 20230226 from CPE 22.12 on

  • Trivial port of the EasyConfig for 20210414, but with a change to the location where we copy the licensing information.

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.
