This category contains Development Tools such as editors, compilers, debuggers, etc., as well as other tools such as visualization software. In many cases there is no need to do a separate set-up for this software, as it is usually installed in systems directories. If a set-up is required, it is usually done with the usepackage facility, i.e. through the use command.

Editors

Powerful editing written originally by Richard Stallman and is common to most Unix systems.

Multi-purpose text editor for the X Window System with a standard, easy to use, graphical user interface.

Text editor for Unix and Unix-based computer systems. Very simple.

Text editor originally written by Bill Joy in 1976. Comes standard with Unix environments. Not graphically driven.

Programming Environments, Compilers

Intel C/C++ compiler for Linux/Intel computers. Auto-parallelization and OpenMP compiler directives.
Intel Fortran compiler for Linux/Intel computers. Auto-parallelization and OpenMP compiler directives.
Gnu C/C++ compiler for Linux. Understands OpenMP compiler directives.
Gnu Fortran compiler for Linux/Intel computers. Understands OpenMP compiler directives.
Easy to learn programming language with a clean syntax (and lots of packages).

Debuggers and profilers

Standard tool for debugging C code compiled with gcc.

Visualization

Open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application. Works both interactively and in batch mode.
Open-source, multi-platform graphics software.
