# URZ Apphub Documentation

This source describes the **Apphub** system provided by the Universitätsrechenzentrum (URZ) at the Universität Greifswald. It is a web-based application that provides students and staff with access to a wide array of software and programming environments without requiring local installation.

Key highlights include:
- **Accessibility:** Accessible via any browser on nearly any end-device.
- **Resource Offloading:** Performance-intensive tasks are executed on URZ high-performance hardware rather than the user's local machine.
- **Software Offerings:**
    - **Programming/Data Science:** JupyterLab, RStudio, and Code-Server supporting languages like Python, Julia, R, Javascript, C++, and Go.
    - **AI/ML:** Pre-configured environments for TensorFlow, PyTorch, AlphaFold, and Detectron2.
    - **Virtual Desktops:** GUI-based environments for 3D reconstruction (Meshroom, Blender, Metashape) and statistics (SPSS, Stata).
- **Support:** Technical issues are handled via the URZ ticket system (hosted on Groupware) or the URZ hotline (ext. 1420).
