The department of Mathematics has many Sun workstations for general purpose computing. In addition, it has an 8-processor Origin 2000 and a 6-processor Origin 2200 SGI computers. These computers are used as dedicated computers. In other words, they are used for a single large scale computation project often requiring a run time of a week or longer.

The Florida State University has an IBM SP-4 computer. This is one of the largest university computer in the world. It has a local shared memory and a massively parallel architecture. The design configuration has 560 nodes. Each node is made up of four RS-6000 units with shared memory. Access to this computer can be arranged particularly for projects involving large three dimensional computation.
