Programming Tools

Programming Tools available for running on the HPC systems

Program(and run) your own HPC applications using the high-level languages listed here:

  • Fortran
  • C
  • C++

These high-level languages are components of Sun Forte[tm] Developer. Another component is the Sun Performance Library which contains implementations of the following standard numerical libraries enhanced by Sun for Sun platforms: LAPACK, LINPACK, BLAS, FFTPACK, and VFFTPACK.

Take advantage of parallel computing with the following standards:

  • MPI
  • OpenMP

Sun OpenMP support is included in Sun Forte[tm] Developer. Sun MPI is a component of Sun HPC ClusterTools[tm] (see Vendor Docs). Sun HPC ClusterTools[tm] also includes

  • Prism
  • S3L

The programming and development tools above are from Sun Microsystems and are geared for high performance on Sun platforms. They are installed, licensed, and available for all LIONS users.
