Software

Intel Compilers

The Intel compilers for both C/C++ and FORTRAN.

Availability and Restrictions

Old Intel compiler licenses on Pitzer and for state-wide access with versions 19.1.3 and earlier will no longer be available from March 31, 2025. We are currently investigating options to mitigate the impact. More details will be posted soon, so please stay tuned. If you have any concerns, please contact OSC Help.

Versions

The versions currently available at OSC are:

HDF5

HDF5 is a general purpose library and file format for storing scientific data. HDF5 can store two primary objects: datasets and groups. A dataset is essentially a multidimensional array of data elements, and a group is a structure for organizing objects in an HDF5 file. Using these two basic objects, one can create and store almost any kind of scientific data structure, such as images, arrays of vectors, and structured and unstructured grids.

GROMACS

GROMACS is a versatile package of molecular dynamics simulation programs. It is primarily designed for biochemical molecules, but it has also been used on non-biological systems.  GROMACS generally scales well on OSC platforms. Starting with version 4.6 GROMACS includes GPU acceleration.

FFTW

FFTW is a C subroutine library for computing the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) in one or more dimensions, of arbitrary input size, and of both real and complex data. It is portable and performs well on a wide variety of platforms.

BLAST

The BLAST programs are widely used tools for searching DNA and protein databases for sequence similarity to identify homologs to a query sequence. While often referred to as just "BLAST", this can really be thought of as a set of programs: blastp, blastn, blastx, tblastn, and tblastx.

ANSYS

Ansys is fully migrated from the Owens cluster to the Cardinal cluster on December 17, 2024. 

ANSYS offers a comprehensive software suite that spans the entire range of physics, providing access to virtually any field of engineering simulation that a design process requires. Supports are provided by ANSYS, Inc

AMBER

The Assisted Model Building with Energy Refinement (AMBER) package, which includes AmberTools, contains many molecular simulation programs targeted at biomolecular systems. A wide variety of modelling techniques are available. It generally scales well on modest numbers of processors, and the GPU enabled CUDA programs are very efficient.

CUDA

CUDA™ (Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a parallel computing platform and programming model developed by Nvidia that enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU).

FLUENT

ANSYS FLUENT (called FLUENT hereafter) is a state-of-the-art computer program for modeling fluid flow and heat transfer in complex geometries.

Availability and Restrictions

FLUENT is available on the Cardinal Cluster. You can see the currently available versions in the table on the main Ansys page here.
