 == Using the old stack ==
 
-Currently, the Easybuild stack is the default one. To use the old stack available before the transition to Easybuild, the users can use the following command:
-
-`enable_old_stack`
-
-If the old stack is needed in a batch script, the alias given above does not work. To circumvent this issue, please add the following lines to your script:
-
-{{{#!sh
-ml purge
-unset MODULEPATH
-ml use /usr/share/Modules/modulefiles:/etc/modulefiles:/usr/local/modulefiles/COMPILER:/usr/local/modulefiles/IO:/usr/local/modulefiles/MATH:/usr/local/modulefiles/MISC:/usr/local/modulefiles/SCIENTIFIC:/usr/local/modulefiles/TOOLS

-=== Compilers (relevant for old stack only!)===
+As of July 2019, a new software stack compiled for Skylake is loaded by default on the DEEP-EST system.
+
+The old Haswell stack (necessary to use the deeper-sdv nodes) can be enabled with the command:
+
+{{{#!sh
+enable_old_stack
+}}}
+
+If the old stack is needed in a batch script, the alias given above does not work. To circumvent this issue, please add the following lines to your script before calling the `enable_old_stack` command:
+
+{{{#!sh
+shopt -s expand_aliases
+. /usr/local/software/configs/modules.sh
+}}}
+
+The very old stack installed before the transition to Easybuild is still available on the system with the command:
+
+`enable_legacy_stack`
+
+As with the old Easybuild stack, the lines reported above must be included in your batch script to run the `enable_legacy_stack` command in a batch job.
+
+=== Compilers (relevant for legacy stack only!)===
 
 There are several compilers available, but as it is highly recommended to use the Intel compiler on the KNC system it might be best to also use it on the DEEP system.\\
