[NLPL Task Force (A)] OpenNMT installation for NLPL (on Abel)

[Martin Matthiesen]

Hello,

We already have a way to use pytorch 0.4.1 on Taito-GPU:

module load python-env/intelpython3.6-2018.3 
[GPU-Env ~]$ pip install -v --user /appl/opt/pytorch/0.4.1/cu90/torch-0.4.1-cp36-cp36m-linux_x86_64.whl

One of my colleagues has compiled the module. Note that the module needs python 3.6 to work, the highest available on Taito-GPU.

Before I investigate CPU-support or support for other compilers, would this pip-approach work for you?

Regards,
Martin
