If your program ends with a ''segmentation fault'', ''broken pipe'' or ''bus error'', you most likely have such a problem in your code. Valgrind is installed on Compute Canada clusters as part of the base software distribution, so there is no need to load a module to use it.

Note that on [[Béluga]], the default environment uses these AVX-512 instructions. You can circumvent this problem by  

first loading the AVX-2 environment,
