The Department of Statistics maintains a network of over 100 desktop computers and thin clients, and over 45 public and research remote servers. Privately accessible Linux desktops and thin clients are installed in most offices and student cubicles. The Department also supports Windows based platforms used by faculty, students and staff. Usage of Department of Statistics computing resources is governed by the Department of Statistics Computer Systems Policy.
The Statistics computing resources are managed and maintained by the Statistics Computing Lab (SCL) in partnership with the Computer Systems Lab (CSL) at Computer Sciences. Documentation and FAQs specific to the Statistics computing environment are found in the SCL Documentation Pages at http://www.stat.wisc.edu/scl, . General information about the combined Statistics/Computer Sciences computing environment are found in the Computer Systems Lab documentation
In addition to office workstations, Room 1274 MSC is provided for general access to 6 Linux thin clients and one Windows computer (as shown in the following tables). Public and research servers can be accessed through remote shell sessions from Windows and Linux desktops. General access is provided to the public and power servers. Access to research servers is authorized by the associated research group.

Some software is restricted to certain machines based on licensing or availability. For help and information on software used by graduate students and faculty see: http://shelf.doit.wisc.edu/SASOnlinedocs/onldoc.htm, http://www.r-project.org/, and http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/. For questions about or problems with using a Statistics application like R and SAS, or if there is a bug in your program code for C or C++, it is better to seek answers first with other students and faculty in Statistics. Please email these types of questions to stat-forum. You may want to join the list by signing up at the stat-forum site. You will then be able to track discussions involving Statistics applications questions.
You can learn more about the specific hardware and operating system of a Linux machine by looking in the local /proc directory (e.g. cpuinfo, meminfo etc.)
