This page contains information about our computing facilities.
The computer in your office runs either Windows or Unix. Usually you'll find that most of the programs you need are installed on your office computer, but for some things you may need to connect to a different computer.
If you're running Unix and need to use Windows, you can open a terminal window and run the command windows.
If you're running Windows and need to use Unix, you can connect to our server abel using either the WebTermX program (if you're going to use programs with a graphical interface), or F-Secure SSH (for using the command line, running pine etc.).
If your office PC is fast enough, we encourage running your computations locally on that computer. In addition, we have several servers you may use for running computations.
When running computations, there are a few things to be aware of regarding how to handle large data sets, where to store large results, which compilers to use, etc. Information about this, and a list of the computers available for running computations can be found on the page Computations.
