Hardware is great, but it's the software that allows
users to do their computational science.
In this module, we provide an overview of what major
software is installed on CTC machines, and how users can find more complete and up-to-date information.
In the lab exercise, you will incorporate calls to a numerical library into a C or
Fortran program.
Prerequisites: Ideally you should already be familiar with CTC computing resources
or have recently completed the
Getting Started module. In order to do the lab exercise, you should also
have completed either the Compiling and Porting Serial Applications for Windows or Compiling and Porting Serial Applications
for Linux module, as well as the Velocity Scheduler
module (or be familiar with submitting batch jobs at CTC).
