At my previous job, we used it for microprocessor development, along with commercial tools and the Torque/Moab batch queuing system. The software tools team used it as well.

I used it on al our home computers for several years but eventually switched to Fedora to be able to use more recent desktop software.

Hello,



The variation in uses of t Scientific Linux is quite interesting.

As mentioned before, we are using it for fluid dynamics modelling and oceanography, in the context of parallel computing with OpenMP and MPICH.



I am curious to see what everyone else have been using it for.



Perhaps, if it’s not too much trouble, people on the list might give a short blurb about how they use it and why.

Maybe also mention others they know who are using it who are not on this list.
