Most systems use a flat module structure: All modules are at the same level. This becomes problematic when many combinations of versions of different modules are available on a system. For example, if you need to use the [[FFTW]] library and the module <code>fftw</code> is available in several versions, including a version compiled with GCC 4.8 and Open MPI 1.6, you might see modules named <code>openmpi/1.6_gcc4.8</code> and <code>fftw/3.3_gcc4.8_openmpi1.6</code>. This is neither elegant nor practical. To solve this problem we use a hierarchy of modules. Rather than using the command
Many HPC clusters around the world use a flat module structure: All modules are at the same level. This becomes problematic when many combinations of versions of different modules are available on a system. For example, if you need to use the [[FFTW]] library and the module <code>fftw</code> is available in several versions, including a version compiled with GCC 9.3 and Open MPI 4.0, you might see modules named <code>openmpi/4.0_gcc9.3</code> and <code>fftw/3.8_gcc9.3_openmpi4.0</code>. This is neither elegant nor practical. To solve this problem we use a hierarchy of modules. Rather than using the command
{{Command|module load gcc/4.8 openmpi/1.6_gcc4.8 fftw/3.3_gcc4.8_openmpi1.6}}
{{Command|module load gcc/9.3 openmpi/4.0_gcc9.3 fftw/3.8_gcc9.3_openmpi4.0}}
you instead use
you instead use
{{Command|module load gcc/4.8 openmpi/1.6 fftw/3.3}}
{{Command|module load gcc/9.3 openmpi/4.0 fftw/3.8}}
This is made possible by using a module hierarchy. The <code>fftw/3.3</code> module that is loaded will not be the same one that would be loaded if you had previously loaded the Intel compilers instead of GCC.
