For more information on Environment Modules on Sapelo2 please see the Lmod page.

• Version 2.0.0

Installed as a conda environment in /apps/gb/AlphaFold/2.0.0/

To use this version of AlphaFold, please first load the module with

ml AlphaFold/2.0.0_conda

Once you load the module, an environmental variable called EBROOTALPHAFOLD is exported. It stores the AlphaFold installation path on the cluster, i.e., /apps/gb/AlphaFold/2.0.0. The bash script run_alphafold.sh in installed in EBROOTALPHAFOLD/alphafold, and the 2.2TB of database files are in /apps/db/AlphaFold/2.0 (this is the directory that you need to use for the -d option of run_alphafold.sh).

Note: This program does not work on the nodes with K20Xm GPU devices, because the CPUs on those nodes do not support AVX. If you run this program on the gpu_p partition, please request a K40 or a P100 GPU device.

• Version 2.0.1

Installed with EasyBuild in /apps/eb/AlphaFold/2.0.1-fosscuda-2020b/

To use this version of AlphaFold, please first load the module with

ml AlphaFold/2.0.1-fosscuda-2020b

Once you load the module, an environmental variable called EBROOTALPHAFOLD is exported. It stores the AlphaFold installation path on the cluster, i.e., /apps/eb/AlphaFold/2.0.1-fosscuda-2020b. The python script run_alphafold.py is installed in EBROOTALPHAFOLD/bin and a symbolic link called alphafold points to it and can be used to run the program. The 2.2TB of database files are in /apps/db/AlphaFold/2.0. You can export the environment variable ALPHAFOLD_DATA_DIR to set the location of the database files. For bash, use

export ALPHAFOLD_DATA_DIR=/apps/db/AlphaFold/2.0

When you load the AlphaFold/2.0.1-fosscuda-2020b module, this environment variable will be automatically set.

Note: This program does not work on the nodes with K20Xm GPU devices, because the CPUs on those nodes do not support AVX. If you run this program on the gpu_p partition, please request a K40 or a P100 GPU device.
