Many software packages that ran on the SOD cluster will be available on the MAC OS X workstations. Faculty are encouraged to work with ITS to ensure the MAC OS X environment is as serviceable as possible. If you would like to work with us to improve the MAC OS X clusters, please fill out the software installation request form in order so that ITS can evaluate your needs:
