Libraries

There are several commonly used libraries that are available as modules on Midway2 and Midway3. After loading the module into your environment, you can find several environment variables and paths are added:

module show [module-name]

These added paths can be used in your Makefile or in the build configuration with cmake.

GSL

The GNU Scientific Library GSL is a numerical library for C and C++ programmers.

module load gsl

which sets up the paths and environment variables for the libraries.

FFTW3

FFTW3 can be loaded via

module load fftw3

which sets up the paths and environment variables for the libraries.

Intel oneAPI MKL

Intel oneAPI MKL can be loaded via

module load mkl

which sets up the paths and environment variables for the libraries. The MKL libraries support core math functions include BLAS, LAPACK, ScaLAPACK, sparse solvers, fast Fourier transforms, and vector math.

NVIDIA HPC SDK

NVIDIA HPC SDK provides another toolset for compiling GPU-enabled C/C++/Fortran codes via OpenACC. NVIDIA HPC SDK also provides a set of GPU-optimized tools and math libraries. These compilers are available through the nvhpc module.
