Cluster Software
Cluster software is refreshed each semester so that the hardware and software are current, robust, and secure. Prior to the semester, Computing Services asks that faculty request all software needed for teaching in the clusters through the Cluster Reservation System. Note that software students will need in the Clusters to complete required coursework must also be included in these requests.
Software requests for Clusters, whether for reservations or student use outside of class, are due at the reservation deadline for that semester. In order to be installed by the first day of the semester, software and all supporting information must be received no later than July 1 for the fall semester, November 15 for the spring semester, and April 15 for any summer session. For more information, see Cluster Software Guidelines.
Software changes are summarized in the Changes This Semester and Changes Next Semester pages. For lists of software currently available by cluster location and platform, see the following:
