The School of Chemical Sciences has access to a wide range of computational facilities both on and off campus. There are a number of special purpose computers within the department for various applications in connection with experiments. Machines available for general purpose computing include numerous Silicon Graphics systems for computaation and visulization, and various PC desktop computers. Computer facilities are available around-the-clock each day of the year.

The campus's Campus Information Technologies and Educational Services (CITES), along with the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and SCS's Visualization Laboratory, offer additional access to state-of-the-art computers and software, giving members of the department access to a wide range of computer facilities.

SCS has a number of computer systems dedicated to scientific research. Major systems include:

	1 SGI Origin 200 system with 4, 360 Mhz R12000 processors and 4 GB RAM, used to run scientific software and provide major school network services.
	11 SGI Octanes in the Vizlab, used as workstations to run scientific applications locally and for starting jobs on the Origin 200.
	1 SGI Ocatane2 with 2 processors, used to run the 3D visualization environment in the Vizlab.
	12 Pentium III PCs, used to run office and scientific applications on Windows 2000 in the Vizlab.
	3 Linux clusers, totalling 65 nodes with a mix of Pentium II and Athlon processors, used by research groups here for running large, distributed calculations.
