Installed Software

Delta software is provisioned, when possible, using Spack to produce modules for use via the Lmod based module system. Select NVIDIA NGC containers are made available (see Containers) and are periodically updated from the NVIDIA NGC site. An automated list of available software can be found on the ACCESS website.

Modules/Lmod

Delta provides a set of modules and a variety of compilers. The default environment loads gcc and openmpi for CPU programs (no GPU-direct). Modules supporting NVIDIA GPUs will contain “cuda” in the name of the module, for example, openmpi/4.1.5+cuda. Unload cuda when building CPU-only packages to avoid accidentally linking cuda libraries. Use module spider package_name to search for software in Lmod and see the steps to load it in your environment.

Please submit a support request for help with software not currently installed on the Delta system.

  • For single user or single project use cases the preference is for the user to use the Spack software package manager to install software locally against the system Spack installation. Delta support staff are available to provide limited assistance.

  • For general installation requests, the Delta project office will review requests for broad use and installation effort.

Python

Note

When submitting support requests for python, please provide the following and understand that Delta support staff time is a finite resource while python developments (new software and modules) are growing at nearly infinite velocity:

  • Python version or environment used (describe fully, with the commands needed to reproduce)

  • Error output or log from what went wrong (screenshots are more difficult to work with than text data)

  • Pertinent URLs describing what you were following/attempting (if applicable), note that URL recipes specific to vendors may be difficult to reproduce when not using their cloud resources (Google Colab, for example)

On Delta, you may install your own python software stacks, as needed. There are choices when customizing your python setup. If you anticipate maintaining multiple python environments or installing many packages, you may want to target a filesystem with more quota space (not $HOME) for your environments. /scratch or /projects may be more appropriate in that case. You may use any of these methods with any of the python versions or instances described below (or you may install your own python versions):

  • venv (python virtual environment)

    Can name environments (metadata) and have multiple environments per python version or instance. pip installs are local to the environment. You specify the path when using venv: python -m venv /path/to/env.

  • conda (or miniconda) environments

    Similar to venv but with more flexibility, see this comparison table. See also the miniconda environment option: anaconda or miniconda. pip and conda installs are local to the environment and the location defaults to $HOME/.conda. You can override the default location in $HOME by using the --prefix syntax: conda create --prefix /path/to/env.

  • pip3: pip3 install --user <python_package> (installs to $HOME/.local/ unless you are using a venv or conda environment).

    Useful when you only need one python environment per python version. CAUTION: Python modules installed this way into your $HOME/.local/ will match on python versions. This can create incompatibilities between containers or python venv or conda environments when they have a common python version number.

  • conda-env-mod: conda-env-mod lmod module generator from Purdue

    The conda-env-mod script will generate a python module you can load or share with your team. This makes it simpler to manage multiple python scenarios that you can activate and deactivate with module commands.

Examples using all the above are shown in the Intel scikit-learn-intelex repository (an Intel accelerated scikit learn subset library for x86_64 architecture).

  • pyenv: pyenv python version management

    Pyenv helps you manage multiple python versions. You can also use more than one python version at once in a project using pyenv.

Note

The NVIDIA NGC Containers on Delta provide optimized python frameworks built for Delta’s A100 and A40 GPUs. Delta staff recommend using an NGC container when possible with the GPU nodes (or use the anaconda3_gpu module).

The default GCC (latest version) programming environment for either modtree/cpu or modtree/gpu contains:

Python (a recent or latest version)

If you don’t need all the extra modules provided by Anaconda, use the basic python installation under the gcc module. You can add modules via pip3 install --user <modulename>, setup virtual environments, and customize, as needed, for your workflow starting from a smaller installed base of python than Anaconda.

Anaconda

anaconda3_cpu

Use python from the anaconda3_cpu module if you need some of the modules provided by Anaconda in your python workflow. See the Managing Environments section of the conda getting started guide to learn how to customize conda for your workflow and add extra python modules to your environment. NCSA staff recommend starting with anaconda3_cpu for modtree/cpu and the CPU nodes. Do not use this module with GPUs, use anaconda3_gpu instead (anaconda3_gpu (for CUDA) , anaconda3_mi100 (for ROCm)). The Delta team frequently updates anaconda3_* to track the latest packages.

Note

If you use anaconda with NGC containers, take care to use python from the container and not python from Anaconda or one of its environments. The container’s python should be first in $PATH. You may --bind the Anaconda directory or other paths into the container so that you can start your conda environments with the container’s python (/usr/bin/python).

The Anaconda archive contains previous Anaconda versions. The bundles are not small, but using one from Anaconda will ensure that you get software that was built to work together. If you require an older version of a python lib/module, NCSA staff suggest looking back in time at the Anaconda site.

anaconda3_gpu (for CUDA) , anaconda3_mi100 (for ROCm)

Similar to the setup for anaconda_cpu, Delta has GPU versions of anaconda3 (module load anaconda3_gpu) and installed PyTorch and TensorFlow CUDA aware python modules into these versions. You may use these modules when working with the GPU nodes. See conda list after loading the module to review what is already installed. As with anaconda3_cpu, submit a support request if there are generally useful modules you would like installed for the broader community. A sample TensorFlow test script:

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --mem=64g
#SBATCH --nodes=1
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=1
#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=16     # <- match to OMP_NUM_THREADS
#SBATCH --partition=gpuA100x4-interactive
#SBATCH --time=00:10:00
#SBATCH --account=account_name    # <- match to a "Project" returned by the "accounts" command
#SBATCH --job-name=tf_anaconda
### GPU options ###
#SBATCH --gpus-per-node=1
#SBATCH --gpus-per-task=1
#SBATCH --gpu-bind=verbose,per_task:1
###SBATCH --gpu-bind=none     # <- or closest

module purge # drop modules and explicitly load the ones needed
             # (good job metadata and reproducibility)

module load anaconda3_gpu
module list  # job documentation and metadata

echo "job is starting on `hostname`"

which python3
conda list tensorflow
srun python3 \
  tf_gpu.py
exit

Python Environments with anaconda3

Recent Changes

To address a problem with PATH ordering when using anaconda3 modules, a warning in the module was put in place to caution loading an anaconda3 module while in a virtual environment, or if conda init has been used to modify one’s environment.

(base) [arnoldg@dt-login03 ~]$ module load anaconda3_gpu
A conda environment has been detected CONDA_PREFIX=
/sw/external/python/anaconda3
anaconda3_gpu is loaded. Consider running conda deactivate and reloading it.

See the Conda configuration documentation if you want to disable automatic conda environment activation.

Note

When using your own custom conda environment with a batch job, submit the batch job from within the environment and do not add conda activate commands to the job script; the job inherits your environment.

Batch Jobs

Batch jobs will honor the commands you execute within them. Purge/unload/load modules as needed for that job.

A clean slate might resemble (user has a conda init clause in bashrc for a custom environment):

conda deactivate
conda deactivate  # just making sure
module purge
module reset  # load the default Delta modules

conda activate base
# commands to load modules and activate environs such that your environment is active before
# you use slurm ( no conda activate commands in the slurm script )
sbatch myjob.slurm  # or srun or salloc

Non-python/conda HPC users would see per-job stderr from the conda deactivate above (user has never run conda init bash):

[arnoldg@dt-login03 ~]$ conda deactivate
bash: conda: command not found
[arnoldg@dt-login03 ~]$

# or

[arnoldg@dt-login03 ~]$ conda deactivate

CommandNotFoundError: Your shell has not been properly configured to use 'conda deactivate'.
To initialize your shell, run

    $ conda init <SHELL_NAME>

Currently supported shells are:
  - bash
  - fish
  - tcsh
  - xonsh
  - zsh
  - powershell

See 'conda init --help' for more information and options.

IMPORTANT: You may need to close and restart your shell after running 'conda init'.

Intel AI Analytics Toolkit

The Intel AI Analytics Toolkit (AI Kit) module contains a subset of what you will find in anaconda_cpu. It contains conda environments optimized for CPU execution: PyTorch & TensorFlow. We have seen up to 2x speedup when using the AI Kit compared to the stock anaconda_cpu. For best results, set OMP_NUM_THREADS to the number of cores you’d like to use (--cpus-per-task in Slurm).

Containers

See Containers.

Jupyter Notebooks

Note

The Delta Open OnDemand (OOD) portal provides an easy method to start a Jupyter notebook; this is the recommended method.

Go to OOD Jupyter interactive app for instructions on how to start an OOD JupyterLab session.

You can also customize your OOD JupyterLab environment:

Do not run Jupyter on the shared login nodes. Instead, follow these steps to attach a Jupyter notebook running on a compute node to your local web browser:

The Jupyter notebook executables are in your $PATH after loading the anaconda3 module. If you run into problems from a previously saved Jupyter session (for example, you see paths where you do not have write permission), you may remove this file to get a fresh start: $HOME/.jupyter/lab/workspaces/default-*.

Follow these steps to run Jupyter on a compute node (CPU or GPU):

  1. On your local machine/laptop, open a terminal.

  2. SSH into Delta. (Replace <my_delta_username> with your Delta login username).

    ssh <my_delta_username>@login.delta.ncsa.illinois.edu
    
  3. Enter your NCSA password and complete the Duo MFA. Note, the terminal will not show your password (or placeholder symbols such as asterisks [*]) as you type.

    Warning

    If there is a conda environment active when you log into Delta, deactivate it before you continue. You will know you have an active conda environment if your terminal prompt has an environment name in parentheses prepended to it, like these examples:

    (base) [<delta_username>@dt-login01 ~]$
    
    (mynewenv) [<delta_username>@dt-login01 ~]$
    

    Run conda deactivate until there is no longer a name in parentheses prepended to your terminal prompt. When you don’t have any conda environment active, your prompt will look like this:

    [<delta_username>@dt-login01 ~]$
    
  4. Load the appropriate anaconda module. To see all of the available anaconda modules, run module avail anaconda. This example uses anaconda3_cpu.

    module load anaconda3_cpu
    
  5. Verify the module is loaded.

    module list
    
  6. Verify a jupyter-notebook is in your $PATH.

    which jupyter-notebook
    
  7. Generate a MYPORT number and copy it to a notepad (you will use it in steps 9 and 12).

    MYPORT=$(($(($RANDOM % 10000))+49152)); echo $MYPORT
    
  8. Find the the account_name that you are going to use and copy it to a notepad (you will use it in step 9); your accounts are listed under Project when you run the accounts command.

    Note

    To use a GPU node, you must pick a GPU account (the account name will end in “…-gpu”).

    accounts
    
  9. Run the following srun command, with these replacements:

    • Replace <account_name> with the account you are going to use, which you found and copied in step 8.

    • Replace <$MYPORT> with the $MYPORT number you generated in step 7.

    • Modify the --partition, --time, and --mem options and/or add other options to meet your needs.

    srun --account=<account_name> --partition=cpu-interactive --time=00:30:00 --mem=32g jupyter-notebook --no-browser --port=<$MYPORT> --ip=0.0.0.0
    
  10. Copy the last 5 lines returned beginning with: “To access the notebook, open this file in a browser…” to a notepad (you will use this information steps 12 and 14). (It may take a few minutes for these lines to be returned.)

    Note these two things about the URLs you copied:

    • The first URL begins with http://<cnXXX>.delta..., <cnXXX> is the internal hostname and will be used in step 12.

    • The second URL begins with http://127.0..., you will use this entire URL in step 14.

  11. Open a second terminal on your local machine/laptop.

  12. Run the following ssh command, with these replacements:

    • Replace <my_delta_username> with your Delta login username.

    • Replace <$MYPORT> with the $MYPORT number you generated in step 7.

    • Replace <cn0XX> with internal hostname you copied in step 10.

    ssh -l <my_delta_username> -L 127.0.0.1:<$MYPORT>:<cn0XX>.delta.ncsa.illinois.edu:<$MYPORT> dt-login.delta.ncsa.illinois.edu
    
  13. Enter your NCSA password and complete the Duo MFA. Note, the terminal will not show your password (or placeholder symbols such as asterisks [*]) as you type.

  14. Copy and paste the entire second URL from step 10 (begins with https://127.0...) into your browser. You will be connected to the Jupyter instance running on your compute node of Delta.
