Empire AI provides high-performance compute resources to eligible PIs across a consortium of New York State research institutions to advance safe, equitable, and responsible AI research for the public good.
All Empire AI compute and storage resources are measured using Service Units (SUs)
For the Alpha and Beta systems, resource usage is converted into SUs using predefined multipliers
**WARNING: CUIT's group subscriptions of BioRender, GraphPad Prism, and SnapGene are not certified to hold/process sensitive data (RHI, PII, PHI-related clinical data). Please refer to the University's Data Classification Policy if you are not sure of your data's classification, and ensure that you do not use sensitive data in BioRender, GraphPad Prism, or SnapGene software.**
Please note:
All technical support for these tools continue to go through the respective corporate software support teams; CUIT is not responsible for technical issues other than account provisioning and billing.
License reassignment cannot be done continuously so as to skirt fair usage terms of service.
Licenses are never auto-renewed. CUIT RCS will inform labs and users of the updated cost and provided with the opportunity to renew 2 months prior to license expiration.
GraphPad Prism licenses
Graphing and statistical software for creating publication-quality graphs and analyzing scientific data with t-tests, ANOVA, linear and nonlinear regression, survival analysis
Each license may be activated on two computers (e.g. a work device and a home device).
If someone from your lab leaves or gets a new computer, the license can be deactivated and redistributed to a different computer.
Molecular biology software for planning, visualizing, and documenting DNA cloning and PCR; allows feature annotation and primer design.
A SnapGene license can only be active on one computer at a time. If someone from your lab leaves or gets a new computer, the license can be deactivated and redistributed to a different computer.
Scientific image and illustration software used for creating professional, accurate figures and diagrams using a library of 50,000+ pre-made, scientifically accurate icons and templates for the life sciences and medicines.
BioRender is a web application (not a downloaded tool), so you can access it on any computer with internet.
Note: Columbia's BioRender subscription uses a UNI-based login. You cannot share a license with anyone else.
Pro-rated licenses are not currently available since our subscription ends on September 30 (see "Annual Licenses", above).
