In the fall of 2006, we moved into a newly renovated computational chemistry laboratory in University Hall (C589). The lab is equipped with student workstations, which include a desktop running Windows or Linux and lots of storage space. Computational chemistry software commonly used in our group includes Gaussian 03, TurboMole, and MolPro, as well as visualization programs such as GaussView, X-Seed, Spartan, and Molden.

We are currently running calculations on a variety of Dell and IBM workstations. We also have a four-processor IBM RS/6000 (Model 44P). In January 2007, we established a high-performance computing cluster in collaboration with the University's Information Technology department. Each compute node on our cluster contains two quad-core processors, 146 GB of storage space and 4 GB of RAM. Our cluster is called URACIL, which is a central molecule in our research and stands for an Up-scale and Robust Abacus for Chemistry In Lethbridge.
