The Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics has a variety of computing resources available to faculty, postdocs, students, and staff.
Computing resources include multiple servers owned by the Department and research groups, external resources such as access to the University Research Computing Cluster (RCC)/Midway; as well as support for Unix, MacOS, Linux, and MS Windows operating systems; mail services (mail with individually set spam filtering options, mail lists); web services; and version control systems services (CVS, SVN, git, mercurial).
The Department also provides funding for computers (laptop or workstation) to graduate students upon matriculation.
