System Tools

ACCESS-NRI is deploying some system tools to use at NCI. System tools are general purpose software packages used to support all aspects of working on a linux HPC system.

This is similar to the software packages that NCI provides and supports but the intention is not to duplicate what NCI already provides. ACCESS-NRI will deploy packages that NCI cannot, for resourcing or other reasons.

Deployment is done from the ACCESS-NRI/system-tools repository. Multiple packages can be defined and deployed from the same repository. Releases are outlined in separate replies below.

The system tools software packages are for anyone to use, the only requirement is that you must be a member of NCI project vk83, which is open for anyone to join.
