- Software Licensing
Many commercial software packages are hosted on our research high performance computing cluster: Abaqus, Ansys, Comsol, Fluent, IDL, Maple, Matlab, Mathematica, and Stata. For desktop applications, network concurrent licensing is offered on a per product basis. These products are offered at no cost to clients. To utilize software on the HPC cluster, a cluster account is needed.

- Visualization
The Tufts Center for Scientific Visualization, located in Anderson Hall, provides a visualization wall for advanced visualization. Researchers can display high resolution stereo images ( 4096 x 2160 ) on a 15 ft by 8 ft screen using a dedicated graphics workstation, supporting RedHat Linux, Windows, and OSX operating systems. Personal laptops can be used also, but at lower resolution (2048 x 1080). Access to this facility is by granted card access ( application required: viswall-support@tufts.edu ) and an R25 account for scheduling. Each new user is required to complete a one hour training session prior to using the facility.

- Bioinformatics
Many current bioinformatics programs and suites, and genomic databases are located on the high performance computing research cluster. Additionally a Bioinformatics Server ( http://emboss.uit.tufts.edu ) offers access to EMBOSS/wEmboss, a sequence analysis package ( see http://emboss.sourceforge.net/what/ About EMBOSS ). An account to access EMBOSS can be requested at http://research.uit.tufts.edu. http://sites.tufts.edu/biotools contains links to bioinformatics resources around the world
