Overview

Lmod is a tool for managing software modules within a shared high-performance computing environment (e.g. the ACCRE cluster). Lmod is designed to intelligently manage, negotiate, and enforce the complex dependencies between software and libraries in a HPC environment. This should lead to better usability of administrator-installed software modules and prevent conflicts between lower-level libraries that many modules depend on.
