A number of well-known visualization software packages is installed on the ELvis cluster:

• Paraview 4.3.1, 4.1.0, 4.0.1, 3.14.1, 3.10.1 (instructions for parallel use)
• VisIt 2.9.0, 2.8.1., 2.7.2, 2.6.3, 2.5.2 (instructions for parallel use)
• VMD 1.9.1
• MIPAV 7.0.1, 5.4.4
• VTK 6.2.0, 6.1.0, 6.0.0, 5.8.0, 5.10.1
• Ferret 6.67
• Gephi 0.8.2 beta
• Blender 2.66
• Devide 12.2.7
• ImageJ 1.48

Also available:

• CUDA 7.0, 6.5, 6.0, 5.0, 4.0.17
• FFmpeg 2.6.2, 2.3.3, 1.1.3

Support libraries, such as OpenMPI and HDF5 and NetCDF tools, are also installed.

It is also possible to compile and run custom OpenGL-based software. Note that the cluster nodes run Linux, so only Linux-based software is supported. Compiling, testing, debugging, etc. all needs to be done on the login node, elvis.surfsara.nl.

To be able to use different software packages and their versions a module system is used. See here for a general overview of the modules system in use on several SURFsara compute systems.
