The NVIDIA Collective Communication Library (NCCL) implements multi-GPU and multi-node communication primitives optimized for NVIDIA GPUs and Networking. NCCL provides routines such as all-gather, all-reduce, broadcast, reduce, reduce-scatter as well as point-to-point send and receive that are optimized to achieve high bandwidth and low latency over PCIe and NVLink high-speed interconnects within a node and over NVIDIA Mellanox Network across nodes.
oneAPI is an open, cross-industry, standards-based, unified, multiarchitecture, multi-vendor programming model that delivers a common developer experience across accelerator architectures – for faster application performance, more productivity, and greater innovation. The oneAPI initiative encourages collaboration on the oneAPI specification and compatible oneAPI implementations across the ecosystem.
oneAPI is available on Pitzer, Ascend, and Cardinal. The versions currently available at OSC are:
GSL is a library of mathematical methods for C and C++ languages.
Miniconda3 is a free minimal installer for conda. It is a small, bootstrap version of Anaconda that includes only conda, Python, the packages they depend on, and a small number of other useful packages, including pip, zlib and a few others.
Miniconda is available on the Ascend Cluster. The versions currently available at OSC are:
VisIt is an Open Source, interactive, scalable, visualization, animation and analysis tool for visualizing data defined on two- and three-dimensional structured and unstructured meshes.
AlphaFold is a software package that provides an implementation of the inference pipeline of AlphaFold v2.0. This is a completely new model that was entered in CASP14 and pusblished in Nature.
TeX Live is a straightforward way to get up and running with the TeX document production system. It provides a comprehensive TeX system with binaries for most flavors of Unix, including GNU/Linux, macOS, and also Windows. It includes all the major TeX-related programs, macro pacakges, and fonts that are free software, including support for many languages around the world.
The following versions are available on OSC clusters:
JupyterLab stores the main build of JupyterLab with associated data, including extensions in Application Directory. The default Application Directory is the JupyterLab installation directory where is read-only for OSC users. Unlike Jupyter Notebook, JupyterLab cannot accommodate multiple paths for extensions management. Therefore we set the user's home directory for Application Directory so as to allow user to manage extensions.
AFNI (Analysis of Functional Neuro Images) is a leading software suite of C, Python, and R programs and shell scripst primarily developed for the analysis and display of multiple MRI modalities: anatomical, functional MRI (FMRI) and diffusion wieghted (DW) data. It is freely available (both as open source code and as precompiled binaries) for research purposes.
The following versions are available on OSC clusters:
Neuropointillist is an in-development R package which defines functions to help scientists to run voxel-wise models using R neuroimaging data.
The following versions are available on OSC clusters:
