NetCDF is a set of software libraries and self-describing, machine-independent data formats that support the creation, access, and sharing of array-oriented scientific data.

Shifter is a prototype implementation that NERSC is developing and experimenting with as a scalable way of deploying containers in an HPC environment. It works by converting user or staff generated images in Docker, Virtual Machines, or CHOS (another method for delivering flexible environments) to a common format. This common format then provides a tunable point to allow images to be scalably distributed on the Cray supercomputers at NERSC. The user interface to shifter enables a user to select an image from their dockerhub account and then submit jobs which run entirely within the container.

Chris Gorgolewski is a co-director of the Stanford Center for Reproducible Neuroscience and a research associate at Stanford University, California, USA. He is interested in enabling new discoveries in human neuroscience by building data-sharing and analysis tools and services, as well as establishing new data standards and data-sharing policies. http://reproducibility.stanford.edu/

Deal.ii is a C++ software library supporting the creation of finite element codes and an open community of users and developers.

SAGE2 enables groups to work in front of large shared displays in order to solve problems that required juxtaposing large volumes of information in ultra high-resolution. SAGE2 is developed as a complete redesign and implementation of SAGE, using cloud-based and web-browser technologies in order to enhance data intensive co-located and remote collaboration.

iRODS Integrated Rule Data System

Academic Torrents a distributed system for sharing enormous datasets - for researchers, by researchers. The result is a scalable, secure, and fault-tolerant repository for data, with blazing fast download speeds.

Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for technical computing, with syntax that is familiar to users of other technical computing environments. It provides a sophisticated compiler, distributed parallel execution, numerical accuracy, and an extensive mathematical function library. Julia’s Base library, largely written in Julia itself, also integrates mature, best-of-breed open source C and Fortran libraries for linear algebra, random number generation, signal processing, and string processing. In addition, the Julia developer community is contributing a number of external packages through Julia’s built-in package manager at a rapid pace. IJulia, a collaboration between the Jupyter and Julia communities, provides a powerful browser-based graphical notebook interface to Julia.

Brock Palen and Jeff Squyres speak with Gregory Kurtzer about Singularity. Singularity allows a non-privileged user to "swap out" the operating system on the host for one they control. So if the host system is running RHEL6 but your application runs in Ubuntu, you can create an Ubuntu image, install your applications into that image, copy the image to another host, and run your application on that host in it's native Ubuntu environment! Gregory Kurtzer has created many open source initiatives related to HPC namely: Centos Linux, Warewulf, Perceus, and most recently Singularity. Currently Gregory serves as a member of the OpenHPC Technical Steering Committee and is the IT HPC Systems Architect and Software Developer for Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Spack is a package management tool designed to support multiple versions and configurations of software on a wide variety of platforms and environments. It was designed for large supercomputing centers, where many users and application teams share common installations of software on clusters with exotic architectures, using libraries that do not have a standard ABI. Spack is non-destructive: installing a new version does not break existing installations, so many configurations can coexist on the same system. https://github.com/scalability-llnl/spack Todd is a computer scientist in the Center for Applied Scientific Computing at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory .
