The departmental Unix laboratory is used for upper-division courses in Computer Science and for research in both the Mathematics and Computer Science Programs. Currently the lab has six Sun Ultra workstations in the following configurations:
Computer Science students Joey Martin ('99), on the left, and Paul Vitantonio('01) mellow out in the Unix lab before the start of the weekly programming team seminar.
-
Three Sun Ultra 5's, with 2-D graphics acceleration and 19" Sun Monitors
-
Three Sun Ultra 10's, with 3-D graphics acceleration and 21" Sun Monitors
The lab also contains:
-
Three high-end Dell workstations with dual 1.6 ghz Xenon processors and 19" flat-panel monitors which dual boot Windows XP and Red Hat Linux.
-
Two Macintosh G5s with dual 2.0ghz processors running OS X.
The laboratory also has a HP laser printer and houses the student ACM chapter Unix server. Of course the lab (the classrooms, the dorms, the campus!) is fully networked.
The departmental server is a Sun Enterprise 250 dual processor, which has more than enough horsepower to drive the lab and a number of simultaneous logins. The departmental web server is a Sun Ultra 5.
