MIT Athena Computing Environment - What Runs Where
Description: List of major software applications on MIT's Athena Computing Environment
Keywords: software, Athena software, What Runs Where on Athena

# What Runs Where

## in the MIT Athena Computing Environment

Note for users of SGI-only software: SGI (Silicon Graphics) machines will be leaving the Athena Computing Environment in June 2003. You will need to find substitutes that run on Sun or Linux machines if you need to continue using such applications on Athena. Please note that this applies only to Athena- non-Athena SGI machines will continue to be supported at MIT at current levels for the forseeable future.

Much of this software is commercial and is only licensed to authorized users of the MIT Athena Computing Environment

Software listed below in the outland locker and some others is unsupported and supplied "as is". It may be moved elsewhere or deleted at any time with little or no advance notice.

Please report bugs in Athena software with the sendbug command. You may want to check with Athena consultants or consult Tips for Using Athena Software to make sure it really is a bug first.
