HLRN Modules (hlrn-tmod)

The old software stack of the NHR cluster (is no longer the default). This software stack dates back to HLRN and was built in collaboration with ZIB (Zuse Institute Berlin) with their Lise cluster (another NHR center). For the purposes of setting the desired software stack (see Software Stacks), its short name is hlrn-tmod. It is currently in maintenance mode.

This stack uses Environment Modules (Tmod) as its module system, which is also known as Tmod. You can learn more about how to use the module system at Module Basics.
