Computing resources and support at McMaster are divided roughly into three domains: research, instructional and administrative. This site focuses on research computing, which is provided through a support contract with the Research & High-Performance Computing Support group. Contact sysadmin@math.mcmaster.ca for assistance.

Administrative resourses include: support for the network, campus email service, general office software; central services used in the departmental office; MUGSI.
