A related page on cluster software stacks is on the
HPC-SIG Wiki
.
This section is to collect information about open source or free software which is widely used as an alternative to commercial or proprietary offerings. It has a focus on software relevant for research and HPC systems. There are other sites for more general software, for instance see
http://www.osalt.com
and
http://alternativeto.net
. We will split this collection into categories off the links below. Mike Croucher's blog is at
http://www.walkingrandomly.com/
. See also the Open Science Project
http://www.openscience.org
.
A lot of general information can be found via the Open Directory Project
http://www.dmoz.org/Science
and Wikipedia
http://www.wikipedia.org
. There are also a number of books on this subject, e.g. see
Google Books
A report on the breakout session we held at
MEW20
on “Open-source alternatives to commercial scientific software” is available here:

.
Note many of the free packages are included with Linux distributions such as Gentoo.
