They are attached to the School of Engineering 10Mbps ether. We try to keep these machines functioning at all times. Subdomains are Faculty , Student , and MultiLab . Graduate students generally are restricted to Student and MultiLab machines unless they are actively pursuing research that requires access to Faculty machines. Research machines were purchased through the NSF Infrastructure Grant that started in 1995.
Individual machines are unavailable during scheduled experimental periods.
Both these subdomains are connected to the rest of the campus by ATM lines. Research and Stable machines have access to each other's file systems. They reside in ASTeCC 107, and include SGI, Sun, and PC machines. They are interconnected by a combination of 100Mbps and 10 Mbps ether and ATM lines. These machines are used for research in networks, operating systems, and vision.
