IS&T Application Server:
Mathematica is available on departmental machines that run BU custom Solaris and Linux. Ask your system administrator whether your UNIX / Linux machines are connected to the Information Service’s Technology’s Application Server and if so, whether /usr/local/IT/bin is in your $PATH.
SCC: Remote access is available with your Linux Virtual Lab or Shared Computing Cluster (SCC) account (for Researchers).
Faculty or research sponsored SCF project:Faculty and research staff can request Scientific Computing Facility resources on a supercomputer for a class or current project. This is a good solution when a pro-ject requires extra power.
