Here you you can find useful information about the CISER service 's services and CCBChemistry-specific how-to's. |
In FY13, we evaluated subscribing to CISER's computing services. We discovered our usage was low that we were allowed be be placed under A&S's subscription, starting July 2013.
Adding any new user does not cost us more. Please use this service if it can help your research!
NOTE: If a research unit within CCB has a project in the future with significant usage requiring additional funding, Oliver is to let CISER know so they can set up a separate account for that project.
