- Matlab is available at no charge to University of Illinois students. To get access, go to www.mathworks.com and login with your University of Illinois credentials.
- NCSA Virtual Machines (Jupyter notebooks) are available at no cost for research purposes. An IML group that used it in Fall 2024 reported that it ran much faster than on their own machines. See also Illinois Computes for the range of services available.
