If you compile software on an expensive supercomputer, it’s a good idea to select the languages and compilers with particular care. We report on tried-and-proved tools used on SuperMUC, a supercomputer at the Leibniz Supercomputing Center in Germany.

We look at  some additional tools that you might find useful when troubleshooting HPC systems .

Several very sophisticated tools can be used to manage HPC systems, but it’s the little things that make them hum. Here are a few favorites.

In the last of three articles on HDF5, we explore performing parallel I/O with the use of HDF5 files.

Fortran development is still progressing, with a new version scheduled to release in 2018. In this article, we look at Fortran 2008 and the upcoming Fortran 2015.

Fortran 90 was only the start. The next two iterations – 95 and 2003 – pulled Fortran into a new era of programming languages.
