In order to make it easier for researchers to start using the computational resources, our research computing infrastructure includes a broad variety of pre-installed commonly used research software, as well as tools for researchers to build and install other software in their own workspaces if necessary.
The pre-installed packages include a set of proprietary software licensed to NUS as a whole, such as ANSYS, Gaussian, Materials Studio, Mathematica, MATLAB, and a few others, as well as several hundred different open-source scientific software. From within the NUS network or via NUS VPN, see https://bobcat.nus.edu.sg/hpc/support/ebenv/ for more information.
For proprietary software that is not licensed to NUS as a whole but to a particular research group or department, we also offer the possibility of hosting the license server with the required access permissions.
For requesting the installation of open-source software that is not already installed, hosting license servers for proprietary software that is licensed to a particular research group or department or help with running or optimizing scientific software in our infrastructure, please submit an “HPC Enquiry” via nTouch.
