whereami

A.k.a. overengineered module load. Install into $HOME/.local/bin with

Terminal window
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/max-models/whereami/main/install.sh | bash

whereami identifies the current HPC system, CPU and GPU and exports environment variables describing it; load_modules reads a modules.json file and loads the right environment modules for the detected machine.

Terminal window
source whereami          # detect and export variables into the current shell
whereami -o machine.json # also save the detected parameters as JSON
