Programming


How many processors can I use?

Four processors, unless you are a HPC user using GridEngine.

To make use of multi processing at compile time, use the make -j 4. Where 4 is the number of processes. If you want your application to support multi processing, you can read about OpenMP and MPI.

Does the G-Bar have any programming tools? (eg. Integrated Development Environment)

Yes, please see the menu under Programming.

Which programming languages are supported

The G-Bar offers support for quite a few programming languages; the most common are C/C++, perl, Python, Ruby, Fortran, and of course shell programming using either the Bourne-Shell (sh) or the Bourne-Again Shell (bash) is possible.
