Description for idl:

IDL is the ideal, timesaving solution for data analysis, data visualization, and software application development. From quick-look analysis and display to commercial programming projects, IDL combines the technology and tools you need with a modern, extensible environment. IDL requires less code and programming expertise to produce dynamic visualizations and analyses, or to develop powerful software applications.

Using idl:

IDL is run on command line on SCARF after submitting an interactive job onto one of the compute node:

[scarfxxx@scarf ~]$ bsub -Is /bin/bash
Job <11> is submitted to queue <scarf-rhel6>.
<<Waiting for dispatch ...>>
