Here are just some of the software packages that can be found. HiPeCC tutorial and other resources page may assist you in using these software packages.

Batch queue system is the Portable Batch System PBSPro on cronus.

Editors for making changes to your programs and input files:

• vi - the standard UNIX editor
• pico - new from the University of Washington Pine Institue
• emacs - a nice graphical interface, requires X11 emulation on your terminal or --no-windows
• nedit - a graphical alternative to emacs, requires X11 emulation on your terminal

Software Development

Third Party Applications (*=parallel processing enabled!):

• Finite element analysis (FEA) software: LS-DYNA*, and ABAQUS*
• Quantum chemistry software: Gaussian 03*
• General purpose symbolic math solver: Maple 7 [license server only]
• Numerical mathematics software: Matlab [notus]
• Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software: Fluent*, Cobalt*

Almost all of the packages require changes to your Unix environment, so you need to see our hints page!

PC access to cronus.hipecc.wichita.edu:

• We now require SSH (Secure SHell) clients. Go here for info on "free" client software. PUTTY and Cygwin/XFree86 are very popular. We also can sell you a copy of F-Secure SSH for use on campus for $5.50. Here is the manual. F-Secure SSH can be used to transfer files via drag and drop. We have a SSH site license from SSH Communications Security Corp. To download it, click here. It also has drag-and-drop. This version does not have the right-click-and-edit feature of F-Secure SSH.
• Connect to cronus with X11 emulation software such as X-win32 or Exceed if a GUI is needed. This is called X Windows. Your PC is known as the X Server. cronus is known as the X Client. Xming is free but requires SSH such as PUTTY. Here are instructions for installing both.

UNIX access to cronus.hipecc.wichita.edu:

• Connect to cronus with X11 emulation software . This is called X Windows. Your UNIX workstation is known as the X Server. cronus is known as the X Client.
• We now have SSH (Secure SHell) and require using SSH clients to replace TELNET and FTP. Go here for info on "free" client software. We have shutdown TELNET and FTP access.
• Note that SSH is needed in addition to X11 emulation software. Once SSH makes a connection, X11 is used for the graphical user interfaces.
