• Xmgrace Mac Sierra

Even now, in version 0.7 it works for me much better than grace, xmgrace, gnuplot etc., for the same excellent price (free). Lets support it to keep it free! Plot is good citizen of MAC OS X.

High Performance Computing for Mac OS X Computation Tools Wednesday, December 12th, 2018:::::: If you'd like to use your Apple Mac with OS X for some numerical computation, this site could be useful to you. Most of these packages have been compiled/tested on several version of OS X and XCode Tools. Feel free to contact me with questions or problems! Computation Tools:: C/Fortran: Compiled using source code from the GNU servers. This contains current versions (8.1 is the stable release) of gfortran (free, open source, GNU Fortran 95 compiler), gcc (GNU C) and g (GNU C) compilers that can perform auto-vectorization (i.e. Modify code to take advantage of AltiVec/SSE, automatically) and other sophisticated optimizations like OpenMP.

For more information, see. Download my binaries, and cd to the download folder. Then gunzip gcc-7.1-bin.tar.gz (if your browser didn't do so already) and then sudo tar -xvf gcc-8.1-bin.tar -C /. It installs everything in /usr/local. You can invoke the Fortran 95 compiler by simply typing gfortran. You will also need to have Apple's XCode Tools installed from the Mac App Store. With XCode 4 or better you will need to download the command-line tools as an additional step.

You will find the option to download the command-line tools in XCode's Preferences. On 10.9 Mavericks or higher, you can get the command-line tools by simply typing xcode-select -install. Binaries:, (gfortran only), updated June 2018 (High Sierra & Mojave)., (gfortran only), updated June 2018 (High Sierra)., (gfortran only), updated June 2017 (El Capitan & Sierra)., (gfortran only), updated June 2015 (Yosemite & El Capitan)., (gfortran only), updated Nov 2014 (Mavericks & Yosemite)., (gfortran only), updated Oct 2013 (M. Lion & Mavericks)., (gfortran only), updated July 2012 (Lion & M. Documentation:: This is the FINAL release of g77 (version 3.4 compiler). Future versions of GCC will have gfortran (see above). Download my binaries, and cd to the download folder.

• QtGrace is a version of Grace based on the Qt-SDK by The Qt Project www.qt.io. QtGrace/Grace is a program to display or plot data, analyze data and prepare it for printing. Using QtGrace is to run Grace natively on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
• I'm not sure how this problem arose: one day I was using SSH X forwarding to use XMGrace to view data on my school's HPCC, and a few hours later, after someone showed me how to use the 'screen -r' command, XQuartz stopped working from both my machine and through the cluster.

Then gunzip g77-bin.tar.gz (if your browser didn't do so already) and sudo tar -xvf g77-bin.tar -C /. It installs everything in /usr/local.

You will need to have Apple's Developer Tools installed. They are included on the retail DVD version of OS X and also available as a free download from.

Please install the most current version of Developer Tools. Thanks to James Wookey for the Intel Mac version of g77. Binaries: (PowerPC only), (Intel Mac only), updated October 2006. Documentation:: This is the oldest Fortran compiler available for OS X. Its been around since OS X was in a public beta state. Download this shell script:, type chmod +x buildf2c and then sudo./buildf2c.

The script will grab f2c source from Netlib repositories and install a f2c based compiler in /usr/local/. You are done! The compiler can be envoked by the commands fc or f2c. Install script: Documentation: Computation Tools:: Octave: Octave is an open source, Matlab-like numerical analysis software package that is very popular among scientists and engineers. The good folks over at Octave-Forge provide an OS X style Octave application, with drag and drop installation! I recommend their binaries (links below).

Source: Binaries:, updated May 2011. Documentation: Computation Tools:: Cactus, RNPL, etc.: The Einstein Toolkit is an open-source software framework specifically targeted to the research area of numerical relativity and astrophysics. The broad aim of the toolkit is to provide the core computational tools that enable scientific research in this area, and take advantage of emerging petascale computers and advanced cyberinfrastructure. The Einstein Toolkit compiles and runs great on Mac OS X. A critical component of this toolkit is the Cactus Computing Toolkit (see below). Source: Documentation:: Cactus is an open source problem solving environment designed for scientists and engineers. Its modular structure ('thorns') easily enables parallel computation across different architectures and collaborative code development between different groups.

It is mainly used for solving complicated PDE's. It highly portable, and has some really remarkable features like observing and even 'controlling' or 'steering' a running simulation using an ordinary web browser!

Here is a link to a perpetual demo running at LSU. Check it out! Cactus compiles and runs great on Mac OS X. Source: Documentation:: This is a great tool that takes as input details about the form of an equation (usually a partial differential equation), and some parameters.

And then spits out a C or FORTRAN Code that solves the equation numerically using established iterative numerical techniques. RNPL can also be used for producing skeleton programs and for converting existing programs. Download the source, compile and install. This source has been modified to compile with OS X. Or get my binary distribution. You probably want to install this in /usr/local, to do so gunzip rnpl-bin.tar.gz (if your browser didn't do so already) and then sudo tar -xvf rnpl-bin.tar -C / and you are done! You will need to use the F77 flag: -fno-second-underscore, for RNPL generated F77 codes to compile properly.

Source: Binaries:, updated 2003. Documentation: Computation Tools:: Other Miscellaneous: GRAVSIM is a package that contains an ever evolving and hopefully growing set of gravitational N body solvers.

These solvers attempt to track the motion of a set of bodies moving under the influence of gravity. They are used in many areas of astrophysical study including planetary motion, star cluster formation and stability and galactic formation, stability and interactions (i.e. Colliding galaxies).

This package is highly AltiVec and DP optimized! Source and Binaries: Documentation:: This is a very easy to use, open-source, X11 based, plotting tool. I used it during my graduate school days and still love it. Its excellent especially for students and free! Note: I did not create this binary, but I have tested it on both Intel and PPC Macs. It works very well. Move the Grace application to the system /Applications folder for it to function correctly.

By the way, if you are looking for a nice, easy to use, 2D and 3D, plotting package for OS X, try. It works great. They have a free trial version, that is not time-limited and is full-featured. It just has some restrictions on the volume of data you can make it handle. Even the full version is very inexpensive.

Continuity Camera Take a photo right to your Mac. Use your iPhone to shoot or scan a nearby object or document and have it automatically appear on your Mac. Just choose Insert a Photo from the File menu, then choose Take Photo or Scan Documents. You can take a photo of something on your desk and instantly see it in your Pages document.

Or scan a receipt, and a straightened version is immediately available in the Finder as a PDF. Continuity Camera works in the Finder, Mail, Messages, Notes, Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. It’s another way iPhone and Mac just click. SMS More ways to get your message across.

With a Mac and iPhone, you can send and receive SMS text messages — the ones in green bubbles — right from your Mac. All the messages that appear on your iPhone appear on your Mac, too, so all your conversations are up to date on all your devices. And when friends text you — regardless of what phone they have — you can respond from your Mac or your iPhone, whichever is closest. 2 You can also start an SMS or iMessage conversation on your Mac by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, Calendar, or Spotlight. Handoff Start it here. Say you start writing a report on your iMac, but you want to continue on your iPad as you head to your meeting. Or maybe you start writing an email on your iPhone, but you want to finish it on your Mac.

Handoff makes it possible. When your Mac and iOS devices are near each other, they can automatically pass what you’re doing from one device to another. 3 An icon representing the last app you were using will appear on your second device — in the Dock on your Mac or on your iOS device. Just click or swipe to pick up right where you left off without having to search for the file. Handoff works with Mail, Safari, Notes, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Maps, Messages, Reminders, Calendar, and Contacts. And app developers can easily build Handoff into their apps.

Start writing an email on your iPhone and switch over to your Mac without losing your place. AirDrop Sharing files has never been easier. AirDrop makes sharing files between Mac and iOS devices simple. With just a few clicks on your Mac, you can take a file from any folder and use AirDrop to send it to a nearby Mac or iOS device. And since AirDrop is peer to peer, it works without a Wi-Fi network. It’s perfect for, say, sharing a document with a coworker in the next room or sending a presentation to a client across the table. You can use AirDrop to send files from the Share menu in your apps and from the Finder.

Recipients will receive a notification, which they can simply click to download the file. Instant Hotspot Just like that, you’re online. With Instant Hotspot, your Mac can remotely activate the Personal Hotspot on your iPhone when they are near each other. 4 Simply select your iPhone from the Wi-Fi menu on your Mac and you’ll be online in seconds. You can even leave your iPhone in your pocket or bag.

Then I'll follow up with some numbers. I use multi-syllable words, but between each syllable I'll add a symbol.

When connected to your Personal Hotspot, your Mac displays the signal strength and battery life of your iPhone at the top of the Wi-Fi menu. After you finish browsing, the hotspot automatically deactivates to preserve battery life.

The next time you want to get online and there’s no Wi-Fi, your Mac will ask you if you want to use your hotspot again. Just click OK to get online. iPhone calls require an iPhone with iOS 8 or later. SMS requires an iPhone with iOS 8.1 or later. Handoff requires an iOS device with iOS 8 or later. Instant Hotspot requires an iPhone or iPad with cellular connectivity and iOS 8.1 or later.

Check with your carrier for hotspot availability. Some features may not be available in all regions or all languages. Some features require an Apple ID, compatible hardware, and compatible Internet access or cellular network; additional fees and terms may apply. Some features require specific hardware and software.
