Software on RTC

29-Feb-2008


Introduction

All software that is not part of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system can be found at the /opt/apps path. There might be several versions of each package. For example, the Intel compiler suite is installed at /opt/apps/intel and has at least two versions installed at that location, each with its own subdirectory. Most, but not all, of the software installed at /opt/apps will require environment variables to be set in order to use those packages. Please see the module command for more inforation. If you need a software package installed, please see our FAQ.


List of Software

The following is a list of all software installed on RTC:

Name
Version(s)
Description
afni
2006_06_30_1332
AFNI is a set of C programs for processing, analyzing, and displaying functional MRI (FMRI) data - a technique for mapping human brain activity.
amber
