Module

The module command is used to configure the user's environment for particular applications.

Please DO NOT use the module command in batch scripts. Modules must be loaded into your interactive session environment beforehand then exported to the job.

To include the shell environment in the batch job, either submit with qsub -V or include the PBS directive

#PBS -V

By default on HPC systems, the modules for PBS, MPT, and the Intel Compiler are loaded. Additional modules may also be loaded.
