The HECToR Service is now closed and has been superceded by ARCHER.

This page provides information on the versions of various software on the HECToR system.

Software Versions

For a brief introduction to the software available on the systems please see the software page in the "How can HECToR help me" section of the website. More detailed information on running and using centrally-installed, third-party scientific codes on HECToR can be found on the software pages of the HECToR website and on the HECToR User Wiki (use your HECToR SAFE details to log in).

Previous default versions of the software on the phase 3 system can be found at:

Modules with planned changes to default are marked with a *.
