| Platforms | A GAP installation guide reproduced in the Singular package manual says GAP runs on Unix-like systems and recent Windows or macOS systems. | The maker lists Linux and 64-bit Intel Mac OS X as actively supported platforms; old Windows 32-bit versions are available but no longer actively supported. |
| Purpose | GAP is a free, open and extensible software package for computation in discrete abstract algebra, with particular emphasis on computational group theory. | Magma is a computational algebra system for algebra, number theory, algebraic geometry, and algebraic combinatorics. |
