COMSOL license cost-sharing program now available to CoE research groups
The College of Engineering cost shares a shared pool of COMSOL Multiphysics licenses for research use, administered by CAEN. Since the COMSOL research license pool is NOT a site license, a cost-sharing program has been set up, meaning Engineering faculty and their research groups which heavily use the licenses are charged for the portion of Continue Reading »
Training & drop-in help sessions for the Flux to Great Lakes HPC migration
As announced by ARC-TS, the Flux high-performance computing (HPC) cluster will be replaced in early 2019 with a new computing cluster named Great Lakes. Since there are a number of differences between Flux and the new Great Lakes environment, a test cluster named Beta has been created and is now available for researchers Continue Reading »
Cryptocurrency mining should not be performed using U-M resources
The U-M Safe Computing group recently sent a notice to the University community that U-M resources should not be used for cryptocurrency mining. Outside of faculty-approved research and coursework, it is an inappropriate use of information technology resources, a violation of U-M policy, and potentially illegal. CAEN would like to remind the College of Engineering Continue Reading »
