The Computer
Center tailored for the research and teaching needs of the University
comprises to the following hardware and software facilities:
-
One
DEC Alpha Server 1000A 5/400 (450 MHz.) mainframe, running Open/VMS,
and configured with 640MB RAM, 5 hard disk units with 26GĀ total capacity,
a DAT tape drive 8GB, a Fast Ethernet 100 Mbps adapter and a FDDI
adapter. The software includes TCP/IP, Fortran, Pascal, C, SAS, SPSS,
TSP, NAG, MIS and ORACLE 7 server (full development system).
-
Two
Silicon Graphics Origin 200 mainframe systems, with (4) processors
(R10000, 180MHz, RISC 64 bit) each, running IRIX 6.4 (64 bit UNIX).
Each system comes with 512 MB RAM, 23 GB total hard disk capacity,
DAT tape drive 8GB and two Fast Ethernet 100 Mbps and one FDDI adapters.
The software includes Email-server, FORTRAN 90 and 77, C++, Pascal,
Mathematica, Informix and ORACLE 7.
-
One
Compaq ProLiant 1600 system with (2) Pentium II 450 MHz. processors,
512 MB SDRAM, 3 hard disk units with 27 GB total capacity, a DAT tape
drive 12/24 GB and four Fast Ethernet 100 Mbps adapters. This system
is the primary Widows NT Server having the task to control and administer
the usage of (240) Windows NT Workstations (Pentium MMX) located in
five computer labs at the Computer Center. In addition there are two
Pentium Pro systems used as secondary Windows NT Server and Network
Router respectively.
-
Serving
more than 7,000 users, the Computer Centre research and teaching facilities
include five computer labs (classrooms) with a total of 236 Pentium
MMX systems, used either as terminals to the Mainframes (IRIX and
VMS) or as Windows NT workstations. The workstation software includes
the MS Office, SPSS, Internet Explorer etc.
All the systems
are linked to the University Network that provides connectivity between
the Mainframes, Servers, PC Workstations and other sites, such as classrooms,
offices, laboratories and the World Wide Web.
