polymake in a Box

If you quickly want to try our software and also as a last resort for the truly desperate we now offer polymake in a Box, an online version.

While it is fully functional in a conceptual sense the box version comes with a variety of restrictions which are listed below:

• CPU and memory consumption limited
• number of parallel users limited
• interfaces to external software installed limited
• no visualization
• no permanent storing of data
• no internet access from within the polymake shell

To start enter

Please log out using ctrl+c or by entering

exit;

For some unfortunate combinations of OS, browser, and keyboard layout JavaScript can't handle key combinations using the alt, meta, ctrl, or command key. On international keyboards, characters like “[” often need such a combination.

If this affects you you could try

• a different browser (opera seems to be good)
• remap key combinations that involve alt, ctrl, command, meta to something without one of the four.
• temporarily switch to a different keyboard layout.
