CVMFS is a CERNVM based file system that provides a scalable, reliable, and low maintenance research software distribution service. At the client end, users just need to mount CVMFS and to use software or libraries directly without worrying about compiling, building, or patching. All the software are compiled for common OS flavors and even modulized so that users can simply load it as a module.
