This Virtual Workshop module highlights the most widely used software at CTC, but
more software is available. For a complete list
with up-to-date status, see CTC's web pages.
Updates are frequently made to the web pages so that the list
is up-to-date and users can find information themselves.
Currently there are separate software pages for Windows and Linux.
Eventually, the two lists may merge into a single web page.
If you have questions about a particular software package's status, or if you would
like to request software that does not appear on the list, please send
email to consult.
Windows Software Page
From the
Theory Center home page,
choose
Services
and then on the next page choose
Software.
By default, the software is listed alphabetically by product name. The viewer
can click on any column heading to change the sort order.
The columns of the table are
- vendor name
- product name
- a brief description of the product,
- installation status on each of the types of machines in our current
configuration.
Under the Installation Status columns, you can see the status of each software package.
In some cases, we plan to install a certain package but have not yet done so due
to time constraints and other higher priority work. A "
no" entry often indicates
that we feel it is not appropriate to install the software (e.g., compilers are
not installed on the batch compute nodes). "
no" can also mean that we are currently
not licensed to run the package on certain machines.
Linux Software Page
From the
Theory
Center home page, choose
Services, then
Support, then
How to
use the CTC Linux Cluster, and then near the bottom of the page
click on
List of Linux Software.
Software packages are listed along with their location. Most of the software
is instaled on both the login nodes and the batch nodes. One exception is
that compilers are gnerally only installed on the login nodes.
Since the Linux clusters are new (relative to the Windows cluster), the list is currently much
much shorter.
Details on Using Applications and Libraries at CTC
To get details on running an application or using a library, view the Software web
page
click on the name.
For some software packages, particularly applications which must be run in batch,
CTC-written web pages will give you detailed information about running the package
on CTC machines, often including an example batch command file which you can copy
and modify for your own use.
For some software packages, you may be directed to the vendor's web page.
If the web pages don't have enough information on how to run an application or ue
a library,
please
contact consult for immediate help and to let us know that the page needs
more detailed instructions.
