SBCL¶
Steel Bank Common Lisp (SBCL) is a high performance Common Lisp compiler. In addition to the compiler and runtime system for ANSI Common Lisp, it provides an interactive environment including a debugger, a statistical profiler, a code coverage tool, and many other extensions.
SBCL is available as a module on Apocrita.
Usage¶
To run the default installed version of SBCL, simply load the
sbcl module:
$ module load sbcl
$ sbcl --help
Usage: sbcl [runtime-options] [toplevel-options] [user-options]
Then run the required script:
sbcl --script example.lisp
For interactive use of SBCL, use a qlogin session:
qlogin
module load sbcl
sbcl
Or enter the debug mode in a similar manner:
qlogin
module load sbcl
sbcl invoke-debugger
Example job¶
Serial job¶
Here is an example job running on 1 core and 1G memory:
#!/bin/bash
#$ -cwd
#$ -j y
#$ -pe smp 1
#$ -l h_rt=1:0:0
#$ -l h_vmem=1G
module load sbcl
sbcl --script example.lisp
