Attention

WARNING: From 8am on 30th June until 5pm on 4th July 2025, there will be no access to the Stanage HPC cluster.

We will try to minimise this downtime and it is possible that Stanage will return to service before 4th July. We will notify you by email when Stanage is back online and available for job submission.

M4

GNU M4 is an implementation of the traditional Unix macro processor. It is mostly SVR4 compatible although it has some extensions (for example, handling more than 9 positional parameters to macros). GNU M4 also has built-in functions for including files, running shell commands, doing arithmetic, etc.
