The following machines are publicly available for all students with CS accounts:
Note: We advise use of the "titans" for remote work/shell servers. Their physical location (locked/environmentally conditioned machine room) leads to improved reliability and availability.
The Apple workstations are fully integrated with the departmental home directory and authentication infrastructure, and you may use them locally via the GUI or remotely via ssh.
In the Computer Science Machine Room, only available via ssh:
"Titans" -- x86_64 servers (Dual Quad Core CPUs, 8GB RAM) running 32-bit RHEL 5* with PAE kernels:
- coeus (129.64.2.150)
- themis (129.64.2.151)
x86_64 WorkStations running 64-bit RHEL5*:
- helios (129.64.2.26)
- selene (129.64.2.27)
In the Vertica Lounge (Volen 104), also available via ssh:
27" iMacs running 10.8.x ("Mountain Lion"):
- canticle (129.64.2.90)
- epigram (129.64.2.91)
- gnomic (129.64.2.92)
- idyll (129.64.2.93)
- lament (129.64.2.94)
- rondeau (129.64.2.95)
- sestina (129.64.2.96)
- threnody (129.64.2.97)
- villanelle (129.64.2.98)
In the conference room (Volen 118), also available via ssh:
Intel Core i5 WorkStations running 64-bit RHEL 5*:
- derby (129.64.3.65)
- fez (129.64.3.66)
- homburg (129.64.3.67)
- kepi (129.64.3.67)
*Note regarding OS/CPU architecture mismatch:
We are moving toward use of 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux on all public PC workstations and shell servers. coeus and themis remain on 32-bit RHEL for the moment, although plans are underway to rebuild them on 64-bit. In the meantime, machines with more than 4GB of RAM and the requisite hardware features are automatically installed with PAE kernels to ensure that all physical RAM is available for use, even if any given process cannot address more than 4GB of RAM at once.
