In this lab, there are 10 PCs running Windows NT and Windows 98. Graduate students and upper division undergraduates can receive accounts on these workstations and thereby have access to various compilers, Usenet, and electronic mail services.
Undergraduates are eligible to use the department's research equipment if their work requires it.
All departmental computers are networked via Ethernet. Largely 10BaseT, the net also contains several high speed LANs including a research ATM LAN and an expanding 100BaseT production net. The department continues to expand these existing departmental computing facilities, both through donations of equipment from manufacturers and through funds provided by the University for computer sciences research equipment support.
