Versions
The following versions of Picard are available on OSC clusters:
Pitzer
SAMtools
SAM format is a generic format for storing large nucleotide sequence alignments. SAMtools provide various utilities for manipulating alignments in the SAM format, including sorting, merging, indexing and generating alignments in a per-position format.
Availability and Restrictions
The following versions of SAMtools are available on OSC clusters:
GATK
GATK is a software package for analysis of high-throughput sequencing data. The toolkit offers a wide variety of tools, with a primary focus on variant discovery and genotyping as well as strong emphasis on data quality assurance.

BWA
BWA is a software package for mapping low-divergent sequences against a large reference genome, such as the human genome. It consists of three algorithms: BWA-backtrack, BWA-SW and BWA-MEM.

Versions
The following versions of BWA are available on OSC clusters:
Bowtie1
Bowtie1 is an ultrafast, memory-efficient short read aligner. It aligns short DNA sequences (reads) to the human genome at a rate of over 25 million 35-bp reads per hour. Bowtie indexes the genome with a Burrows-Wheeler index to keep its memory footprint small: typically about 2.2 GB for the human genome (2.9 GB for paired-end).

HOWTO: Install your own Perl modules
While we provide a number of Perl modules, you may need a module we do not provide. If it is a commonly used module, or one that is particularly difficult to compile, you can contact OSC Help for assistance, but we have provided an example below showing how to build and install your own Perl modules. Note, these instructions use "bash" shell syntax; this is our default shell, but if you are using something else (csh, tcsh, etc), some of the syntax may be different.
NWChem
NWChem aims to provide its users with computational chemistry tools that are scalable both in their ability to treat large scientific computational chemistry problems efficiently, and in their use of available parallel computing resources from high-performance parallel supercomputers to conventional workstation clusters.

Versions
The following versions of NWChem are available on OSC clusters:
HOWTO: Identify users on a project account and check status
An eligible principal investigator (PI) heads a project account and can authorize/remove user accounts under the project account (please check our Allocations and Accounts documentation for more details). This document shows you how to identify users on a project account and check the status of each user.
Messages from sbatch
sbatch messages
shell warning
Submitting a job without specifying the proper shell will return a warning like below:
sbatch: WARNING: Job script lacks first line beginning with #! shell. Injecting '#!/bin/bash' as first line of job script.
Errors
If an error is encountered, the job is rejected.
Not specifying a project account
It is required to specify an account for a job to run. Please use the --account=<project-code> option to do this.
Linaro MAP
Linaro MAP is a full scale profiler for HPC programs. We recommend using Linaro MAP after reviewing reports from Linaro Performance Reports. MAP supports pthreads, OpenMP, and MPI software on CPU, GPU, and MIC based architectures.
