The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is a compiler system produced by the GNU Project supporting a wide variety of programming languages and architectures.  GCC’s external interface follows Unix conventions.  Each of the language compilers is a separate program that reads source code and outputs machine code. All have a common internal structure. A per-language front end parses the source code in that language and produces an abstract syntax tree (“tree” for short).

For a full list of supported languages and architectures go to GCC’s WIkipedia page.

CPLEX is an optimization software package, which helps users solve integer programming problems, linear programming problems, and many more.

The IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimizer solves integer programming problems, very large linear programming problems using either primal or dual variants of the simplex method or the barrier interior point method, convex and non-convex quadratic programming problems, and convex quadratically constrained problems (solved via second-order cone programming, or SOCP).

The CPLEX Optimizer has a modeling layer called Concert that provides interfaces to the C++, C#, and Java languages. There is a Python language interface based on the C interface. Additionally, connectors to Microsoft Excel and MATLAB are provided. Finally, a stand-alone Interactive Optimizer executable is provided for debugging and other purposes.

The CPLEX Optimizer is accessible through independent modeling systems such as AIMMS, AMPL, GAMS, MPL, OpenOpt, OptimJ and TOMLAB. In addition to that AMPL provides an interface to the CPLEX CP Optimizer.

LaTeX (/ˈleɪtɛk/ lay-tek or /ˈlɑːtɛk/ lah-tek) is a document preparation system and document markup language. LaTeX uses the TeX typesetting program for formatting its output, and is itself written in the TeX macro language. LaTeX is not the name of a particular editing program, but refers to the encoding or tagging conventions that are used in LaTeX documents.

For software to edit LaTeX, check out TexMaker.
