Service under evaluation

This year we are evaluating subscribing to CISER's computing services.

We are currently promote using this service within Chemistry because it's already paid for and continuing to fund it each year will be easier if it is actively used.

Subscription tracker page, which folks funding the service can access with their NetID:

Software list

CISER's service includes free-to-you access, from your own computer, to Mathmatica, Matlab, and many other software packages:
