HPC2N - Support - Software/applications

Software

 

In this section you will find information about the installed software and applications at the HPC2N, as well as some information about available commercial programs.

If there is a program you need and it is not installed, you can either install it yourself or ask  (mail support at support@hpc2n.umu.se) if it can be installed on HPC2N's systems. If the program needs a license, you will in some cases have to provide that.

HPC2N provides a large selection of application software. This section will contain a brief overview of the programs, as well as (sometimes) recommandations for which version to use.  In the cases where there is a recommended version, it will be emphasized in bold. This will often, but not always, be the newest version. You can always run module avail and look for the program you want to use, to see all available versions. If you know the name of the module (like psc for PathScale compilers), but not which versions are available, you can use the command module avail <module name>.

You can read more about using modules on the module page.

Follow the links below to get more information about running the applications or linking with the libaries.

Many of the modules have a small 'help' text included. Type module help <module name> to get the help text.

Newer versions of the provided software will be installed regularly. However, if you need a new version quickly, please send an email to support@hpc2n.umu.se.

If you need a program not listed below, try running module avail or looking in /lap to see if it is installed. If not, you can send a suggestion to have it installed to support@hpc2n.umu.se. More detailed information can be found here:
