The UVa Hive

Available Software

Use MATLAB? Because Hive MATLAB usage has far exceeded expectations, UVa has agreed to fund licenses for students to download MATLAB onto their personal computers for the current academic year (2012-2013) only.

This page provides an alphabetical list of software packages recently or currently available through the UVa Hive.

Software that has been recently added or deleted is highlighted in the table.

All Hive software is available on one single desktop, 00_Hive_All_Apps.

Instructors: Please see our FAQ for instructions on requesting software additions to the Hive.
