Application Details

  • Description : IDL, short for Interactive Data Language, is a programming language used for data analysis. It is popular in particular areas of science, such as astronomy, atmospheric physics and medical imaging. IDL shares a common syntax with PV-Wave and originated from the same codebase, though the languages have subsequently diverged in detail.
  • Versions : 8.4
  • Module names : idl/8.4
  • License: University of Hull Engineering department, restricted by physics department


Usage Examples

IDL Programs

Below is an example of a very basic IDL program called helloworld.pro 


; helloworld.pro
pro helloworld,what
  print,'HELLO ',what
end

And the corresponding main.pro program 


; main.pro
pro main
  helloworld,'WORLD'
end

Batch Script


#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=sayhello
#SBATCH --output=slurm.out
#SBATCH --error=slurm.err
#SBATCH --partition=compute

module add idl/8.4

idl -e main

Batch Submission

[username@login01 ~]$ sbatch idl.job
Submitted batch job 289543

Interactive Mode

IDL can be invoked an interactive mode as below: 


[user@login01 ~]$ module add idl/8.4
[pysdlb@login01 ~]$ idl
IDL Version 8.4 (linux x86_64 m64). (c) 2014, Exelis Visual Information Solutions, Inc.
