Many sites on the NGS make available a range of Scientific Software. These applications are available for use via the UI/WMS resource broker or via globus commands. The table below shows which applications are available at which sites.
The UI/WMS can select the most appropriate site for you or you can request your job to run at a specific site. The links in the table will take you to pages showing you how to submit grid jobs to use the application from the UI using the WMS, the NGS portal, or via direct globus commands. In some instances the software may not be fully grid enabled and may need to be run by logging into the site first. These documentation pages give instructions for how to do this where appropriate.
Click on the categories below to see the applications available. Click on an application to see which versions are available and at which NGS sites. Click on the Documentation links to see how to run that application on the NGS. Click on a site name, on the right hand side, to see which applications are available at that site.
