Applications
Researchers are running their own applications on the grid and several success stories of their use have been reported throughout the past year. At the start of 2009 information has been collected about applications the researchers wanted to be made available on BEgrid. Answers came from researchers covering several disciplines. Sofware wanted is: Amanda, Q-Chem, Hamess-US, ORCA, OpenFoam, Matlab, Mathematica, IDL, Octave, GATE, CPLEX, ArcGIS, ABInit, OPtimus, R, BLAST and the C/C++ libraries: OpenCV, FTTW3 and boost. Installation of those software pacakges on the grid is a major effort and demands the necessary manpower. Commercial software packages can need a considerable budget. An installation plan is considered where software is gradually made available. Announcements of their availability will be made via the mailing lists. List of currently available common software: Octave - installed at the KULeuven gridcluster Python (Enthought Python Distribution)- installed ath the BELNET gridcluster /swmgrs/betests/EPD/6.1-1 R - installed at the BELNET gridcluster /swmgrs/betests/R/2.10.1 An example of submitting an Octave job to the grid is available here If you need more information or want to add another package to the list, contact begrid@belnet.be |
