Department Computer Resources
Large Computer ClassRoom (LCCR)
The Large Computer ClassRoom (LCCR) consists of 28 workstations, 2 firewalls, 1 fileserver, and 2 projectors. The 28 workstations run Fedora 13 (x86_64) and are set up to run VirtualBox with Windows XP guest OS. The workstations each contain a Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB RAM. Available applications include Microsoft Office XP, Open Office, Matlab, ARC/GIS, and a number of utilities and open source applications. Use of the Linux side of these workstations requires a Linux account and extended computing support membership, but can provide access to background computing numbercrunch power.
Small Computer ClassRoom (SCCR)
The Small Computer ClassRoom (SCCR) consists of 20 workstations, 1 firewall, 1 fileserver, 2 scanners, and 1 projector. The 20 workstations each contain a quad-core Pentium Core i5 processor with 4 GB RAM. All workstations dual-boot, running Windows XP Pro, as well as Fedora 13 (x86_64) set up to run VirtualBox with Windows XP guest OS. Available applications include Microsoft Office XP, Open Office, Matlab, Google Earth, IDL/ENVI, ARC/GIS, plus a number of utilities and open source applications.
