Getting Started
SCS Computing Facilities (SCSCF) is the principal technical consulting and support resource for the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. We offer a variety of information technology services to the SCS community including desktop computing, research computing, high performance clusters, as well as provide technical consulting (help), technical procurement (purchasing), and we collaborate closely with central campus technology groups such as Andrew Computing Services.

In addition, you will find resources relevant to the greater university departments as relevant.
