ParaTools, with the help of its partners, has created a fully-featured Linux distribution called HPC Linux. TAU, Trilinos, PToolsRTE, PToolsWin, and many more important parallel software development tools are included. HPC Linux is available for free download in the downloads section. Once you have a copy of the image, visit the getting started section.

Getting Started

The easiest way to start using HPCLinux is in a virtual machine. The ISO image and OVA files are compatible with VMware, VirtualBox, and KVM. Simply create a new virtual machine that boots from the file you downloaded. For the OVA file, use File -> Import Appliance -> OVA file in VirtualBox.

If you prefer to boot natively, you may either boot from a CD/DVD or from a USB device. Download the ISO image and burn it to a CD, DVD, or USB device. Insert the freshly-burned boot medium and reboot while holding down the appropriate boot modifier key. On Apple systems this is the 'c' key, while on Dell systems it is the F12 key. If you don't know which key is correct for your system, please check your system's documentation for more information. You may need to modify your boot settings in the system BIOS.
