Jeff, Many of the applications (within each group) do the basics. It really depends on the level of features, project/community activity, and support you need. For instance some projects are great, but they have not been touched in years while others need a bit time investment to get working. Also, if you are looking to get a high level overview of HPC (a little dated, no GPU coverage however) You can also have a look at the free AMD "HPC for Dummies" http://insidehpc.com/2012/09/free-download-hpc-for-dummies/ -- Doug > Hello all.
