CTSS Update

CTSS changed on August 14, 2007. TeraGrid has a new registry for software and services. Documentation is now more accessible and easier to search.

Supported Applications Software

TeraGrid supports a wide range of scientific, visualization, and mathematics software (sometimes referred to as third-party software). Search the supported applications database by software title, TeraGrid platform, or science category. This software is installed and maintained by the TeraGrid staff at each resource provider site.

TeraGrid Software Repository (all categories)

Community Software Area

Don't see the software you need in the Supported Applications Database? Request a common location to install executables, scripts and libraries that will be shared by a community of users. No need to use home directories to share software. TeraGrid staff will back up this area.

Request Community Software

Visualization Software

Visualization software is listed in the Supported Applications Database; see the Data Analysis and Visualization category. For more information about visualization hardware at TeraGrid sites, visit the Visualization Resources page.

Site-Specific Software

From any TeraGrid computing resource command line, browse the TG_APPS_PREFIX directory to see software local to the site but not in CTSS. You can also search for software in the Supported Applications Software Database.

Software Environment

Add entire pre-set groups of variables to your environment by using SoftEnv to include all of your executable and library paths, regardless of your choice of login shell.

CTSS

Each TeraGrid platform supports the Coordinated TeraGrid Software and Services Current (CTSS). No matter which machine you log in to, you can expect to find a common set of compilers, software, libraries, and services, and common methods for managing your environment.
