Computing Facilities
The Department of Computer Science hosts more than 40 research labs with access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; 2 open labs for graduate students; and a 128-seat open access lab for undergraduate students.
The labs consist of state-of-the-art, high-performance workstations and high-end PCs, all connected via Ethernet with a fiber uplink to provide fast access to the campus network and the Internet. Nine classrooms and one large lecture hall with the latest computer and audio-visual equipment are available. The Department maintains a variety of Sun servers, including three Sun V 880 with eight processors each, two 420R dual processor servers, three 280R dual processor servers, and fifty Sun netras for intensive network programming capabilities. The servers are connected to a storage array consisting of a Sun A3500 with a total storage capacity of 800GB. The University library has on hand a large collection of computer science journals and publications.
