Software
Software | License | WINE? | VM? | Native Linux? | Equivalent FOSS | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
MATLAB | Proprietary | Gold | Yes | Yes | QtOctave, FreeMat (stale?), Octave (console), Scilab (not syntax-compatible), Sage | Parallelize number crunching using the CVL |
DyKnow | Proprietary | Garbage | Yes | No | Ubiquitous Presenter (Free for academic use), completely free version a work in progress | Contains malware. |
LabView | Proprietary | Yes | Yes | |||
Microsoft Visual C++ | Proprietary | Garbage | Yes | No | GCC + GDB + Valgrind, KDevelop, eclipse-cdt | |
Microsoft Excel 2007 | Proprietary | Gold | Yes | No | Gnumeric | Absolute values ( such as "1" or "0") can not be used for constraints. Multiple cell ranges can not be manipulated at once,
making Gnumeric unusable for transshipment problems and goal programming. Cell ranges can only be compared to ranges of equal length and width in constraints. Nonlinear programming is not yet possible. Reports are dated in UTC. |
PSpice | Proprietary | Silver | Yes | No | Qucs | You can probably replace the Tront PSpice book with the Qucs workbook. |
Zeitnitz Soundcard Oscilloscope | ? | Gold | ? | No | xoscope | |
Velleman PCSGU250 / PCLab | Proprietary | Bronze? | Kind of | No | none, if you want to use this hardware | bwr is supposedly working on a linux driver so that this 'scope might also work with xoscope |
LogicWorks | Proprietary | Gold | Yes | No | Qucs | |
MPLAB | ?? | Gold | Yes | Yes | Piklab | |
Xilinx tools (parts GPL'd) | ?? | Sometimes quirky | Yes | Use 9.x natively with libusb-driver. | ||
WinCupl | Proprietary | Gold | Yes | No | Needs MFC40.dll:
wget http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vc/mfc40.cab cabextract mfc40.cab wine mfc40.exe | |
MS Visual C# + .NET | Proprietary | ?? | Yes | No | MonoDevelop + Mono | |
VMware products | Proprietary | No | ... | Some | Virtualbox, QEMU | VMware's tools can generally be used to convert images between VMware and VirtualBox/QEMU formats. |
Microsoft Project | Proprietary | Bronze | Yes | No | GNOME Planner | Planner lacks resource levelling or constraints |
Autodesk Products | Proprietary | Garbage | Buggy | No | Success in Wine depends on the Autodesk product used and revisions of all software involved. | |
Microsoft Visio | Proprietary | Gold | Yes | No | Dia | Lots of add-ons for circuit shapes and logic for flowcharts |
Microsoft Visual Studio | Proprietary | Garbage | Yes | No | gcc, eclipse-cdt | Compiling C++ in g++ is okay, but testing in a Visual Studio environment is recommended to make sure that the project will work correctly before turning it in. |
Microsoft PowerPoint | Proprietary | ? | Yes | No | LibreOffice Impress, Beamer | Some instructors may require PPTX files, but some may also accept PDF; your mileage will very depending upon your instructor. |
Sibelius Scorch | Proprietary | ? | Yes | No | ||
Adobe Flash Player | Proprietary | ? | Yes | Yes | ||
Respondus LockDown Browser | Proprietary | No? | No | No | Integrates with Scholar, Canvas for testing; prevents access to other tabs, perhaps other apps (by blacklist), resists running in virtualized environments and some releases of Wine, must be run as administrator |
