Computing & Information Services | Brown University

Center for Computation and Visualization (CCV) maintains a large computer cluster for research use.  Researchers confronting problems which are too large to solve on a conventional laptop or workstation can obtain a free, exploratory account which allows limited use of the system.  Priority use is available for a fee.

CIS provides printer stations (both black & white and color) in the computing clusters throughout the campus. Users can use these printers to print from cluster computers as well as from their own personal computers.

Rooms with Windows and Macintosh computers and printers are located at various locations around campus.  Computers are installed with specialized software and courseware.
