Computing Resources

All Rensselaer undergraduates are required to own a laptop computer. Laptop ports are available throughout the campus -- in residence halls, classrooms, labs, and the library. Wireless access is also available in many locations.

Rensselaer has numerous public computer labs providing 24 hour a day access to more than 600 PCs, Macs, and Unix workstations from Silicon Graphics, IBM, and Sun. All dorm rooms have network connections so that anyone with any type of computer can access the Rensselaer Computer Network and the Internet.

In addition, there are a number of computers with specialized architectures. These include high performance graphics workstations for research in scientific visualization and virtual reality, computers for image processing, and massively parallel computers for large scale computation.

Additional information about Rensselaer's computer facilities is available from Academic and Research Computing.
