Visualization Applications and Graphics Libraries

The following table lists and briefly describes visualization applications and graphics libraries installed on NERSC systems. Links to NERSC systems are available from the High Performance Computing Resources page. Each NERSC System page has a link to the software installed on that system.

Note that different versions of an application may be installed on the same system or on different systems. For complete platform and version information, see the NERSC resource pages for visualization applications and graphics libraries. These pages also indicate whether you will need to load the application using the module command. If you have questions about the applications listed below, please send email to consult@nersc.gov.
