HOWTO: Install a MATLAB toolbox
If you need to use a MATLAB toolbox that is not provided through our installations. You can follow these instructions, and if you have any difficulties you can contact OSC Help for assistance.
Software
Blender
Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation.
Software Refresh - August/September 2018
OSC is refreshing the software stack for Owens and Ruby on September 4, 2018. This will be done by a rolling reboot. During the software refresh, some default versions are updated to be more up-to-date. Information about the old and new default versions, as well as all available versions of each software package will be included on the corresponding OSC software webpage. See https://www.osc.edu/supercomputing/software-list.
BLAST Database
OSC periodically updates The NCBI BLAST database.
Versions
BLAST database is available on the Pitzer and Cardinal clusters. The versions currently available at OSC are:
Scientific Database List
This page provides a list of the scientific database available at OSC.
Abaqus
Abaqus is fully migrated from the Owens cluster to the Cardinal cluster on December 17, 2024.
ABAQUS is a finite element analysis program owned and supported by SIMULIA, the Dassault Systèmes brand for Realistic Simulation.
Apptainer (formerly Singularity)
Apptainer (formerly Singularity) is a container system designed for use on High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. It allows users to run both Docker and Singularity containers.
RELION
RELION (REgularised LIkelihood OptimisatioN) is a stand-alone computer program for the refinement of 3D reconstructions or 2D class averages in electron cryo-microscopy.
LAPACK
LAPACK (Linear Algebra PACKage) provides routines for solving systems of simultaneous linear equations, least-squares solutions of linear systems of equations, eigenvalue problems, and singular value problems.
Availability and Restrictions
A highly optimized implementation of LAPACK is available on all OSC clusters as part of the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL). We recommend that you use MKL rather than building LAPACK for yourself. MKL is available to all OSC users.
BLAS
The BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) are routines that provide standard building blocks for performing basic vector and matrix operations.
Availability and Restrictions
Access
A highly optimized implementation of the BLAS is available on all OSC clusters as part of the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL). We recommend that you use MKL rather than building the BLAS for yourself. MKL is available to all OSC users.
