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.
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.

To create an account, per CISER's email to ChemIT on 3/15/13:
- Each user must fill out the application located on CISER's web site:
- Under "Applicant Netid:", put your NetID if you have one. If you don't have one, put in your email address.
- In the case when a NetID is not available, CISER will generally use your last name for the account and limit the account activity for the time period you are visiting Cornell, but can extend by request if collaborating further (4/26/13, JanetH). Contact ChemIT if you have any questions or concerns if you fall in this category.
- Under "Type of Account:", select "For Research".
- Under "Affiliated Faculty:", enter your PI's name (Cornell professor).
- Under "Faculty Netid:", put down your PI's NetID (Cornell professor).
- Under the text entry, "Comments, explanation of "other" status, special requirements:", please write, "Add to Chemistry's annual subscription."
This text instructs CISER to assigns your account to CCB's specific subscription.
- Oliver will be notified when you apply, but you are welcome to let <crcf> know you've applied. :-)
Please do let <crcf> know if you find this service helpful or if you find something that gets in the way of it being a useful service.
