The information contained in these local webpages are designed to help you understand what local computing facilities we have, how to access them and also what software is available as a member of the SPAT Physics Group.

You are strongly advised to visit the Imperial College ICT webpages for most of your general computing requirements, which includes software that is available to members of Imperial College.

The most commonly enquired about software packages are:

OpenText eXceed (X Windows software, previously known as Hummingbird eXceed)
ITT IDL
Mathworks MATLAB
Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.)
Microsoft Visual Studio (C, C++, etc.)
Microsoft Windows Operating Systems (Windows 7 upgrades)

At present, only the eXceed and IDL software are distributed via SPAT (email spathelp@imperial.ac.uk), the remaining software should be obtained directly from the ICT Software Shop.
