Molecular software

The SOC has access to a variety of chemistry related softwares. Some of these come with paid licenses however as well as some requiring hardware the general user laptop doesn't have. Therefore, the SOC has a dedicated computing cluster running under maintenance by C&Cz and has a computer workstation where visual programmes can more easily be ran from. This page serves as a guide how to get access to these systems as well as providing an overview of the lab's current running softwares.

Applying for access to the SOC workstation

Application for the SOC-workstation requires sending an email to socmoe-access@science.ru.nl, after which you will receive a document[make link] to read prior to accessing the workstation. It should be stressed that due to paid licences to Floris's name, people outside the SOC who still would like to use the machine will have to add Floris to their list of authors upon publication.

Applying for access to the SOC cluster

The SOC cluster shares its computing power with the spectroscopy and catalysis group from Jana Roithova. In order to get access you first need a science account with which you can access the lilo login server (more details on: https://cncz.science.ru.nl/nl/howto/ssh/). Afterwards you need to be added to the group molmech before you can access cn142 (the main SOC cluster node), which is currently governed by wtitulaer. More information on using the cluster node can be found at [make link] Molecular Chemistry cluster.

Currently we have the following running setup:
