HPCBIOS_06-19: Common Set of Open Source Utilities¶
Note
Sites will provide a core set of open source utilities on all allocated HPC systems and non-storage user-accessible support servers. These should be installed in the users’ default path or, provided via modulefiles.
- BC Project HPCBIOS_06–19
- Date of Policy: 2012-12-15
The current core set of open source utilities is:
| Autoconf (GNU) | Produces shell scripts to automatically configure software source code packages. |
| Automake (GNU) | Generates makefile.in files from makefile.am input files. These ini files are compliant with the GNU coding standards and build process. |
| Bison (GNU) | Converts a grammar description into a C program to parse that grammar. |
| cvs (GNU) | Provides a version control system for managing source files, and documents. |
| Subversion | Provides a version control system for managing files and directories |
| Tar (GNU) | Creates tar archives, as well as providing various other kinds of manipulation. |
| gzip (GNU) | Is a data compression utility. |
| bzip2 | Block-sorting data compression/uncompression utilities. Command line options are deliberately similar to those of gzip. |
Other software utilities can be incorporated into this core set with Baseline Configuration team consensus.
