List of computers the CSC controls

The Computer Science Club has access to a variety of different architectures to give members a chance to test their programs in different environments.

Here is a list of the computers we have available:

perpugilliam (peri)

This is a Debian stable machine that runs the Computer Science Club, i.e. it hosts all the important servers. It is also the machine where your home directory lives.

peri has 512 MB of RAM and dual P3 450 MHz processors.

glucose-fructose (sugar)

This is a Debian unstable machine, which means you will find bleeding-edge software available here. This may, or may not, work with the other software installed on your CSC account.

It as 512 MB of RAM and dual P3 500 MHz processors.

carbonated-water (h2o)

This is a Debian stable machine that runs as a backup for perpugilliam. This means that it runs the secondary LDAP server, for authentication; and the backup mail exchange. Sadly, we are unable to provide backup NFS.

It has 256 MB of RAM and an AMD-K6 200 MHz processor.

powerpc0

powerpc0 is a UW-DIG iMac. It was graciously loaned to us by CSCF. It currently runs Debian stable, and is a great platform for porting your software to PowerPC.

It has 64 MB of RAM and a 233 MHz PowerPC processor.

sparc0

sparc0 is a UW-DIG machine. It was graciously loaned to us by Peter Buhr. It currently runs Debian stable, and is a great platform for porting your software to UltraSparc.
