Here you you find useful information about the CISER service and CCB-specific how-to's.

History of service evaluation

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.

When CCB was a subscriber, Oliver's NetID was authorized to view CCB's data. Now that we're under A&S's subscription (July 1, 2013), Oliver doesn't know who is authorized to see this data. :-)

Software list

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

Run expensive software on CISER's high-end hardware from almost any computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux). All software licensing is pre-paid, and the installation and configuration is maintained by experts.
