## Available Software
It is good practice for working on HPC clusters to use software and packages built with support for parallelization
wherever possible. Open-source software is generally preferable to proprietary software. You can check
for already installed software at the [Software module list][2]. However, the majority of popular
programming languages, scientific applications, software and packages can be installed on the HPC
cluster using different dependencies. There are
[two different software environments](../software/modules.md) implementing these varying
dependencies: `scs5` (the regular one) and `ml` (environment for the Machine Learning partition).
Keep in mind that any software you wish to use on ZIH HPC systems needs to work on Linux.
Pre-installed software on our HPC systems is managed via [modules][2]. You can
see the list of software that's already installed and accessible via module [here][3]. However,
there are many different variants of these modules available. We have divided these into two different software environments: `scs5` (for regular partitions) and `ml` (for the Machine Learning partition).
Within each environment there are further dependencies and variants; see (TODO some explanation of EasyBuild naming scheme) for more details.
