Software
Software available to users includes:
- Compilers,Numerical Libraries and Debugging tools for those doing their own development (See the Programming section)
- Standard Linux tools (editors, scripting languages etc.)
- Freely available software packages (often covered by GNU licences)
- Commercial software
Below is a list of software which has been installed centrally, with a summary of the licensing conditions. Most commercial software is paid for by Schools, but some centrally licensed software is also available. If you are interested in using any of this software and need more information, or would like us to consider new software, please contact HPC support.
