Hardware

The Department of Mathematical Sciences and Center for Applied Mathematics and Statistics support a number of workstations that are located in two specially designed computer laboratories and in faculty offices. The computational resources are divided into four components: the CAMS laboratory, an undergraduate laboratory (CAPSTONE), a Statistical Consulting Laboratory, individual faculty and general purpose workstations (e-mail, etc.).

The CAMS laboratory is dedicated to the research needs of faculty and advanced graduate students and houses a SGI Origin 2000 4-processor computation server, a SGI Challenge backup server with a DLT 7000 autoloader, three SGI Impact R10000s, two Linux 2-processor servers, one SGI Power Indigo Extreme, four SGI Indys, a SGI Indigo, an HP 735 and HP 715, a Linux and two NT workstations. One of the Impact machines has video capabilities. Also housed in the laboratory are a scanner, a postscript, black-and-white laser printer, a postscript, color laser printer and a paintjet printer.

The CAPSTONE Laboratory is equipped with five SGI Indys, two Pentium PCs for data acquisition and processing, a postscript, black-and-white laser printer and an inkjet printer.

The Statistical Consulting Lab consists of four Pentium PCs dedicated to statistical consulting projects, an HP 735 and a postscript, black-and-white laser printer.
