程序开发类 

1. C++: Visual Studio 2005
2. FORTRAN: Compaq Visual Fortran 6.6
3. SVN (http://subversion.tigris.org/): A version control system. Revision control (also known as version control, source control or (source) code management (SCM)) is the management of changes to documents, programs, and other information stored as computer files. It is most commonly used in software development, where a team of people may be changing the same files. Changes are usually identified by a number or letter code, termed the "revision number", "revision level", or simply "revision". For example, an initial set of files is "revision 1". When the first change is made, the resulting set is "revision 2", and so on. Each revision is associated with a timestamp and the person making the change. Revisions can be compared, restored, and with some types of files, merged.

科技文档写作类

1. Latex (http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX)：科技文章写作系统，开源软件。本室的所有英文文章和大部分中文文章和报告均用Latex撰写；
2. WinEdt（http://www.winedt.com/）：一个强大的文本编辑器，特别针对LaTeX 用户设计开发，也可以用于普通文本编辑和程序开发。可以用WinEdt作为Latex文档的编辑软件。
3. Lyx (http://www.lyx.org/，http://wiki.lyx.org/)： 基于Latex 的“所见即所指”（WhatYouSeeIsWhatYouMind）文档编辑软件，开源软件。可以不需要记忆Latex的命令，可以替代WinEdt来编辑Latex文档。

图形处理类

1. Illustrator (http://www.adobe.com/cn/products/illustrator/)：矢量图形绘制与编辑软件，用于绘制文章中的插图，也可以修改编辑其他软件（如TecPlot）生成的 矢量图形。建议使用开源软件Inkscape(An Open Source vector graphics editor with capabilities similar to Illustrator)，替代Illustrator。
2. TecPlot （http://www.tecplot.com/）：科技数据可视化处理软件，可以将计算结果以曲线、等值线和动画等形式显示。本室的物质点法程序mpm3d可以将结果输出为TecPlot格式，利用TecPlot格式进行处理。
3. ParaView (http://www.paraview.org/) : ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application. ParaView users can quickly build visualizations to analyze their data using qualitative and quantitative techniques. The data exploration can be done interactively in 3D or programmatically using ParaView's batch processing capabilities. ParaView was developed to analyze extremely large datasets using distributed memory computing resources. It can be run on supercomputers to analyze datasets of terascale as well as on laptops for smaller data. 本室的物质点法程序mpm3d可以将结果输出为ParaView格式，利用ParaView格式进行处理。另外，本室对ParaView进行了扩展，作为物质点法数值仿真的前后处理平台。

数学工具类

1. Octave - GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with Matlab. It may also be used as a batch-oriented language.

文本编辑器

1. UltraEdit (http://www.ultraedit.com/)：UltraEdit is the ideal text, HTML and HEX editor, and an advanced PHP, Perl, Java and JavaScript editor for programmers. UltraEdit supports disk-based 64-bit file handling (standard) on 32-bit Windows platforms (Windows 2000 and later). 可以读写上百兆的数据文件。

文件磁盘管理 

1. Unison （http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/）：A file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other.
2. Daemon tools (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/CHN/products/dtproAdv)：虚拟光驱

网络

1. gmail (http://mail.google.com)：电子邮件
2. gtalk (http://www.google.com/talk/intl/zh-CN/)：即时通讯软件
3. Fetion (http://www.fetion.com.cn/): 飞信是中国移动推出的“综合通信服务”，即融合语音（IVR）、GPRS、短信等多种通信方式，覆盖三种不同形态（完全实时、准实时和非实时）的客户通信需求，实现互联网和移动网间的无缝通信服务。飞信可以免费从PC给手机发短信，实现无缝链接的多端信息接收，MP3、图片和普通OFFICE文件都能随时随地任意传输。

文献管理

1. EndNote(http://www.endnote.com/):  Millions of researchers, scholarly writers, students, and librarians use EndNote to search online bibliographic databases, organize their references, images and PDFs in any language, and create bibliographies and figure lists instantly. Instead of spending hours typing bibliographies, or using index cards to organize their references, they do it the easy way—by using EndNote! And EndNote Web is included with EndNote so you can collaborate with others easily. 
2. JabRef(http://sourceforge.net/projects/jabref/): JabRef is a graphical application for managing bibliographical databases. JabRef is designed specifically for BibTeX bases, but can import and export many other bibliographic formats. 用于管理BibTex的文献数据。
