Apptainer (formerly Singularity)
Apptainer (formerly Singularity) is a container system designed for use on High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. It allows users to run both Docker and Singularity containers.
Pitzer
HTSlib
HTSlib is a C library used for reading and writing high-throughput sequencing data.
RELION
RELION (REgularised LIkelihood OptimisatioN) is a stand-alone computer program for the refinement of 3D reconstructions or 2D class averages in electron cryo-microscopy.
LAPACK
LAPACK (Linear Algebra PACKage) provides routines for solving systems of simultaneous linear equations, least-squares solutions of linear systems of equations, eigenvalue problems, and singular value problems.
Availability and Restrictions
A highly optimized implementation of LAPACK is available on all OSC clusters as part of the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL). We recommend that you use MKL rather than building LAPACK for yourself. MKL is available to all OSC users.
FreeSurfer
FreeSurfer is a software package used to anaylze nueroimaging data.
Availability & Restrictions
Versions
The following versions of FreeSurfer are available on OSC clusters:
HOWTO: Use Docker and Apptainer/Singularity Containers at OSC
It is now possible to run Docker and Apptainer/Singularity containers on all clusters at OSC. Single-node jobs are currently supported, including GPU jobs; MPI jobs are planned for the future.
From the Docker website: "A container image is a lightweight, stand-alone, executable package of a piece of software that includes everything needed to run it: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries, settings."
FSL
FSL is a library of tools for analyzing FMRI, MRI and DTI brain imaging data.
Availability and Restrictions
Versions
The following versions of FSL are available on OSC clusters:
HOWTO: Submit Homework to Repository at OSC
This page outlines a way a professor can set up a file submission system at OSC for his/her classroom project.
Usage for Professor
After connecting to OSC system, professor runs submit_prepare as
VirtualGL
VirtualGL allows OpenGL applications to run with 3D hardware accerlation.

Versions
The following versions of VirtualGL are available on OSC clusters:
Julia
From julialang.org:
"Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for numerical computing. It provides a sophisticated compiler, distributed parallel execution, numerical accuracy, and an extensive mathematical function library. Julia’s Base library, largely written in Julia itself, also integrates mature, best-of-breed open source C and Fortran libraries for linear algebra, random number generation, signal processing, and string processing. In addition, the Julia developer community is contributing a number of external packages through Julia’s built-in package manager at a rapid pace. IJulia, a collaboration between the Jupyter and Julia communities, provides a powerful browser-based graphical notebook interface to Julia."
