Fortran

Many numerically-intensive science applications (such as GEOS-Chem) are written in Fortran, which generates highly-optimized executables suitable for running on HPC installations. There are several Fortran compilers available, but we recommend the GNU Fortran (aka gfortran), which is open-source, and therefore suitable for running in cloud computing environments.

Python

We use GCPy and other Python code to analyze and visualize output from GEOS-Chem simulations. Python, which is open-source, contains many packages that are suitable for scientific applications.
