Dear All, As a follow up from the last meeting we are setting up some departmental computing pages with (hopefully) useful information on them. These are for Physics (or sometimes faculty) specific items such as how to install Mathematica/origin/Maple/etc legally and will not mirror anything already covered by ICT (although I could see there being links to ICT pages in some circumstances). What I am looking for is suggestions as to what to put on these pages. Best, david

Dear all The annual Physics Departmental Maple Licence fee is due. I am not sure how many people in Physics still want to use Maple now that Mathematica is available. Two research groups who formerly used Maple stopped using Maple last year so Maple was wanted by these groups: Astrophysics Condensed Matter Theory Photonics Plasma Physics Quantum Optics & Laser Science Theoretical Physics Teaching Does Physics still want Maple? Is so which Research groups? I on leave for three weeks from tomorrow, best regards, Martin From: Taylor, James A Sent: 21 August 2012 11:43 To: Morris, Martin J Cc: Shop (ICT) Subject: Imperial College / CHEST / Maple Site Licence payment Dear Martin, Payment is requested for annual Maple licences for use during the 2012/13 licence year.

Intel Compilers for Linux
by Rochford, Steve 01 Aug '12

We've just received a new license file for these compilers. If you use the Intel C or Fortran compilers please save the attached file to the correct location (Finding the correct location is left as an exercise for the reader! It could be in all sorts of places; the easiest thing to do is to try and run the compiler. You'll then get an error message which will tell you that it can't find a license and it will tell you where it looked; put the file there!) Steve
