Package categories

The reason this wiki page exists at all is, to identify the best way(s) to categorize easybuild generated modules into subcategories, especially for the situation that many many modules are being provided.
It includes both site and unix distro categorization of packages.
- PRACE Tier-0 systems: HLRS, JUELICH, LRZ, CEA, BSC, CINECA
- Unix / Linux distributions: OpenSuse, RHEL, Fedora, Debian, Mandriva, pkgsrc, portage, macports ...
(only listing the ones which are categories indeed)
- bio
- cae # this is a little bit special, supposed to mean "computer automated engineering"
- chem
- compiler
- debugger
- devel
- ide
- lib
- math
- mpi
- numlib
- performance
- phys
- system
- tools
- vis
Funny observation: Without having a tool like EasyBuild, it's not wonder they have git under two categories!

- applications: third party application programs will be entered here
- compilers: programs for converting language source to machine code
- environment: modules for providing LRZ specific environment variables
- graphics: modules for providing graphics and visualization related functionality
- libraries: performance and functionality libraries
- parallel: access to parallelization software, especially MPI
- tools: development, tuning and debugging aids
Ref: http://www.lrz.de/services/software/utilities/modules/
- Curie's software documentation
- Mathematical libraries
- Storage softwares and data handling
- Calculation codes
- Visualization softwares and data handling
- Profiling and Debugging sofwares
- Development
- Others
Ref: http://www-hpc.cea.fr/docs/Curie-software-documentation.html
- Environment: modulefiles dedicated to prepare the environment, for example, get all necessary variables to use mpi2 to compile and even run programs
- Tools: useful tools which can be used at any time (php, perl, ...)
- Applications: High Performance Computers programs (CPMD, NAMD, ...)
- Libraries: Those are typically loaded at a compilation time, they load into the environment the correct compiler and linker flags (FFTW, LAPACK, ...)
- Compilers: You can play with differents compilers and versions in this package (c, c++, fortran, java, ...)
