Compilers

In order for users to run jobs on a remote resource it is often necessary for them to first log in and compile their scientific code.

Since most sites use Linux, the most common compiler in use is GCC, which is provided in most distributions as standard.

Installing user applications and compilers

The NGS maintains a set of guidelines and requirements for installing applications and compilers. These cover: compilers, software libraries and compilation documentation; supporting MPI; exposing existing local site applications to the NGS via UEE and the BDII service; installing new Software for the NGS; joining the NGS Bioinformatics database mirrors.
