Teaching Labs: Workstations

These are the workstations available in the teaching labs. Please note that timetabled lab and tutorial sessions have priority over all other uses; details are usually posted on the door of each of the rooms, if not, please check the room timetables.

The workstations are either dual boot 64-bit Microsoft Windows 7 and 64-bit Ubuntu 13.04 Linux (all PCs in 202 and 206), or have Linux with a Windows 7 virtual machine (all PCs in 219). There are various project machines, plus 7 Macs running MacOS X in 210.

General notes:

  • At some times, the project machines may be allocated to specific students for project use and not available for general access.

  • The texel, matrix, visual and corona machines use on-board Intel graphics.

  • The edge and pixel machines feature discrete AMD Radeon HD 6450 graphics cards.

  • The graphic work-stations are fitted with more-advanced, Nvidia CUDA-capable graphics cards.

  • The configuration may vary slightly from the above on some machines.
  • All systems have flat panel LCD colour displays, and are networked via 1Gb/s Ethernet.

  • All systems in Room 219 (edges, coronas, matrices and visuals) are single-boot Linux. Windows is available as a virtual service on these machines.
  • All systems in Rooms 202 and 206 (pixels and texels) are dual-boot Linux and Windows.
  • See the Linux services page for information on remote login.

Special Test software/services

  • Wayne Luk's Custom Computing group have node-locked licenses for the Maxeler FPGA Hardware Compiler (see the Maxeler website) to run on matrix01-12 and visual01-23. The software itself lives in /vol/cc, and is intended to be used for MSc projects and practicals for the Custom Computing course, please email Kuen Hung Tsoi for more information.
