Resources for Instruction and Research
The major resources for graduate instruction and research in computer science are concentrated within the instructional facilities and research laboratories in the Computer Science Department. Additional instructional facilities are utilized through the Academic Computing Services of the College of Engineering. Selected research facilities are available through the research laboratories of interdisciplinary faculty in the group, as well as through network links to several supercomputer centers including the facilities at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Several local area networks (LANS) provide host-to-host services connecting all of the systems available to students and faculty of the graduate group. Gateways give these systems access to the internet and to virtually all available research computer networks.
Students have access to a wide variety of research and instructional resources, including numerous workstations and general purpose processors. These resources include:
- Over 100 workstations of Sun, SGI, and DEC which support student and faculty research
- Over 100 computers, consisting of HP, DEC, SGI, and Sun workstations, as well as PC's and Mac's all supporting instructional activities
- Access to a variety of parallel and supercomputer systems at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the San Diego Super Computer Center
All graduate students have direct access to a work-station for research and instruction.
