CSLab Support Page
Welcome to the CSLab Support Page. The purpose of this site is to provide
basic information for members of the University of Toronto's Computer Science
Department and their use of the CSLab computing environment. We have
organized these pages into various subjects or groups of subjects; please
select the appropriate links. We also welcome feedback and suggestions on how
to make these pages clearer. Please send suggestions about these pages to:
software at cs.toronto.edu
Each research group has a Point of Contact (POC) who
serves as the primary computing support point of contact for the group. If
the documentation on these pages is not sufficient to solve a particular
problem, the POCs can be contacted by email.
CSLab's focus is primarily research and departmental computing infrastructure,
not supporting course assignments. Information about the department's teaching computing facility,
CDF, is available at the CDF web site,
http://www.cdf.toronto.edu.
The department also has an administrative intranet, at https://dcsweb.cs.toronto.edu,
for which CSLab logins and password are used.
New CSLab account requests may be submitted using our
Online Account Application.
