Software
The Center for High Performance Computing provides a wide variety of software to researchers. We maintain installations of numerous scientific packages, utilities to access systems and files, and tools for programming and debugging, just to name a few.
If there is a package you would like us to install, please contact us at helpdesk@chpc.utah.edu. You can also install software in your home directory or group space; please let us know if you run into difficulties compiling or installing your own software. For more information, please see our Application Support Policy.
Some commercial software requires licenses. You can see the status of licenses managed by the CHPC on our license status page. The page does not show licenses for all software managed by the CHPC; some programs may have other license management systems. If you have any questions about software licenses, please contact us.
