Physics Computing

Welcome to the physics computing website. Here you will find an index of useful computing resources available to staff and students working in the physics department.

New! I have just built Visit into the locker "visit". This visualization software should now be available for use on any Realm Linux machines. Type "add visit" and then "visit" to run it.
Also updated are instructions on setting up a server-side filter for spam messages.

Any computing help requests can be sent to the Help email: pyhelp at pams dot ncsu dot edu (replace the "at" and "dot" with their respective symbols)
I am one of the people that answer that queue, so emails to me can be sent there, which has an advantage over sending me emails directly if I need to pass the help ticket to someone else.

My email address is ambrown4 at ncsu dot edu, if you see an error on this site, or think I should add something, you can email me directly. I would like some feedback on this site, I tried to include a good list of useful resources, but I may have missed something. Comments are welcome.
