The Hampshire College Cluster Computing Facility
The Hampshire College Cluster Computing Facility houses a high-performance Beowulf-style computer cluster called fly. Fly runs the open-source, GNU/Linux CentOS-based free clustering software, ROCKS, and it currently includes 522 processors in 37 nodes. This cluster is available to both faculty and students, and is used for many things, including evolutionary computation research, physical and biological simulations, and 3D rendering.

Hampshire’s campus is wired for wireless internet, and has an e-classroom, several computer labs and media labs equipped with industry-standard software. The Liebling Center for Film, Photography, and Video and the Johnson Library Center house facilities for computer animation; film and video editing; and digital design. An electronic music recording studio can be found in the Music and Dance building.

The Five College Logic Certificate Program
The Five College Logic Certificate Program, overseen by an interdisciplinary faculty committee, brings together aspects of logic from different regions of the curriculum: philosophy, mathematics, computer science, and linguistics. The program is designed to acquaint students with the uses of logic and initiate them in the profound mysteries and discoveries of modern logic. Logic is a part of every discipline. There is reasoning in every field of inquiry. There are rules behind every work of art, behind every natural language. There is inference in every intelligence, human and inhuman. Every issue of law and public policy bends to the power of logic.

The Four College Biomathematics Consortium
The Four College Biomathematics Consortium (4CBC), a collaboration between Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke, and Smith Colleges, is aimed at training the next generation of scientists in the rapidly emerging field of biomathematics. This consortium supports joint investigations by faculty and students into the most challenging life science research questions, using tools that span biology, mathematics, and computer science.
