The machine is too old and the admins have no time to maintaining it
up to date. They put the efforts in the modern distributed memory
machines of the university.

I don't know if I could find all software needed in binary form. For
example, a modern gcc compiler for ia64 is not provided in binary form
in gcc web page. And I suppose that a medium size scientific program
needs lots of dependencies that I don't know if I could find.
PD: Ten minutes ago I've discovered in a directory inside /opt an
Intel C++ compiler installation. The binaries are not in the users
path, so I don't know if it runs. I will try it. The version is 8.1,
so I don't know if provides OpenMP. But we have an important problem:
Intel compilers are not free software :(
