Components, Tools, Compilers, Libraries, and Debuggers

This section provides a brief overview of the some of the common tools, compilers, libraries, and debuggers available for use on HP XC.

An HP XC system is integrated with several open source software components. HP XC incorporates the Linux operating system and its standard commands and tools, and does not diminish the Linux ABI in any way. In addition, HP XC incorporates LSF-HPC and SLURM to launch and manage jobs, and includes HP-MPI for high performance, parallel, message-passing applications.

You can use most standard open source compilers and tools on an HP XC system; however, you must purchase them separately. Several open source and commercially available software packages have been tested with the HP XC Software. The following lists some of the software packages that have been tested for use with HP XC. This list provides a sample of what is available on HP XC and is not intended as a complete list. Some packages listed are actually included as part of the HPC Linux distribution and as such can be used as part of the HP XC development environment. The tested software packages include, but are not limited to, the following:

Other standard tools and libraries are available and can most likely be used on HP XC as they would on any other standard Linux system. Software that is not described in HP XC documentation may not have been tested with HP XC and may not function in a standard manner.
