BGL Application Documentation

Software on the Argonne BG/L system includes the vendor-supplied operating systems and programming environments as well as third-party products installed by the Argonne BG/L Systems Team. Most of packages will have man and info pages are available online. Other documentation such as vendor user guides and BGL usage instructions may be found by clicking on the application's name in the application list.

The Argonne BG/L Systems Team installs, maintains, and supports a number of third-party software applications. Most can be used free-of-charge by all Argonne BG/L users. Some applications are restricted to only Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) users. Restricted applications are marked as such and an explanation of the restriction may be found by selecting the application's name.

Examples of third-party software are compilation systems such the IBM and gcc compilers, application packages and tools and utilities such as the job resource manager and notifyme.

Eventually, requests for additional software applications may be made using an online request form, for now, please send mail with the name of the software and any known details to support@bgl.mcs.anl.gov.
