Spack is an HPC-oriented package manager which ALCF uses to install software for
the user environment.

Users should depend on libraries in the Spack PE over libraries on the system
when possible, as system libraries may slightly differ between compute nodes and
login nodes.

ALCF's Spack PE is a Spack-managed software stack which provides various build
tools, utilities, and libraries. It consists of a base stack (`spack-pe-base`)
and PrgEnv-dependent stacks (currently `spack-pe-gnu`).

The `spack-pe-base` module adds paths to the user's `MODULEPATH`; individual packages are subsequently loaded through the newly available modules. The full list of available packages can be viewed by running `module avail` or `module --show-hidden avail` for a complete listing. Packages are loaded in the same way from `spack-pe-gnu`.
