Overview

Awesome HPC is a curated, open-source directory of tools, libraries, documentation, and other resources related to High Performance Computing (HPC). It targets engineers and administrators who work with supercomputing, large-scale clusters, and performance-critical workloads in science, engineering, and business.

Features

Scope and Purpose

• Curated list focused specifically on High Performance Computing (HPC).
• Aimed at both engineers and system administrators working with clusters, supercomputers, and large-scale workloads.
• Covers both open-source and proprietary tools.
• Includes a broad range of software licenses (GPL, BSD, MIT, Apache, EPL, LGPL, proprietary, etc.).

Main Categories of Resources

• Provisioning
  Tools and frameworks for installing, configuring, and managing HPC systems and clusters. Includes software across multiple licenses such as GPL-3, EPL-1.0, BSD-3, MIT, proprietary, and others.

• Workload Managers
  Job schedulers and workload management systems used to run and orchestrate jobs on HPC clusters. Includes both open-source (OSS, Apache-2.0, others) and proprietary options.

• Pipelines
  Workflow and pipeline tools for chaining and managing complex HPC workloads and data processing flows (Apache-2.0, BSD-3, and other licensed tools).

• Applications
  End-user HPC applications (e.g., domain-specific scientific, engineering, or data analysis apps) under licenses such as GPL-2 and others.

• Compilers
  HPC-focused compilers and toolchains, including both proprietary and open-source (e.g., GPL-3, OSS) options.

• MPI (Message Passing Interface)
  MPI implementations and related tooling for distributed-memory parallel programming, with BSD and other licenses represented.

• Parallel Computing
  Tools, libraries, or frameworks supporting parallel programming models beyond core MPI (e.g., shared-memory or hybrid approaches).

• Benchmarking
  Benchmarks and performance test suites for evaluating HPC systems, including tools under OSS, GPL-2, GPL-3, and other licenses.

• Miscellaneous
  HPC-related utilities and tools that don’t fit in other categories (MIT, LGPL-3, GPL-3, BSD-3, and other licenses).

• Performance
  Profiling, tuning, and performance analysis tools, covering both proprietary and open-source licenses (GPL-2 and others).

• Parallel Shells
  Shells and command-line tools designed to operate across many nodes in parallel (GPL-2, LGPL-2.1).

• Containers
  Container runtimes, orchestration, and tooling tailored to HPC environments, licensed under BSD, Apache-2.0, MPL 2.0, and others.

• Environment Management
  Tools to manage software environments and modules on HPC systems (GPL-2, BSD, and other licenses).

• Visualization
  Visualization tools relevant to HPC data and simulations (BSD-3 and similar licenses).

• Parallel Filesystems
  Parallel and distributed filesystems and related storage technologies, including proprietary and GPL-2.0-licensed systems.

• Programming Languages
  Programming languages and language ecosystems commonly used in HPC (MIT, ISC, Apache-2.0 licenses).

• Monitoring (Prometheus-based)
  Monitoring stacks and exporters built around Prometheus for observing HPC clusters and workloads, under GPL-3.0, Apache-2.0, and other licenses.

Community and Documentation

• Clearly defined contribution guidelines in contributing.md for adding or updating entries.
• Additional documents like developing.md and emerging.md for project development practices and emerging HPC tools/topics.
• Licensed repository with an explicit LICENSE file for the list itself.

Pricing

• Not applicable. Awesome HPC is an open, curated list hosted on GitHub and does not present pricing plans for access to the list itself.
