Physics/Astronomy Network of Intel Computers (PANIC) Information

PANIC is a facility for graduate students, faculty, and staff in the Physics and Astronomy departments. It consists of 15 PCs running CentOS operating system (a GNU/Linux variant). It opened on July 16th, 1998.

The original machines were part of a large donation from Intel called the Millennium Project. Since then, all of the original computers have been replaced with newer hardware by the Physics department.

Free accounts are available to all first-year Physics and Astronomy graduate students, and any other unaffiliated graduate students; sign up by filling out this form.

All other users must pay $20/month for an account. You can apply for a paid account by filling out this form.

After you have applied for an account, you should obtain a key to the room. Get a key authorization form from Donna Sakima or Anne Takizawa (see contact info), and bring it to Anthony Vitan.
