User Applications and Client Tools

In order for the resources of the NGS to provide a useful service, users need to be able to either compile their own codes or run pre-built applications. Additionally, any client tools necessary for user communities to use connected NGS resources and services should also be provided. This currently includes:

 

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.
