Intro to CV Computing 2001
All-in-one version
(Regular [individual slides] version)
Overview
Unix Infrastructure
Traditionally Sun; moving rapidly to Linux
"AIPS Caige": high end workstations, signup system
Summer Students Workstations
Where to look for more information
Unix Infrastructure
Network: Intranet (NRAO sites) vs. Internet (everything else)
CV: Many and varied Unix systems to handle services
Center of behind-the-scenes activity:
The Computer Room
Center of Science activity:
The AIPS Caige
A
glimpse of the future
...
The Computer Room
Chart
(also in
PostScript
) shows current situation
Polaris
: main login system; handles mail (IMAP, POP, SMTP); SAMBA server
Donar
: web server; no interactive logins, access
/home/nraoweb/
via NFS
Kochab: ftp/majordomo server, being replaced by donar.
Sin
juggles multiple duties:
hosts
public CD recorder
acts as
printhost
for
CUPS
printing system
DHCP (laptop/mobile boot) server
Soon will be NIS (yellow pages) master
The AIPS Caige

"Big 4" (vulcan, valen, hominid, lemur) have signup sheets
Intended for large projects (too big for desktop)
(Named after
AIPS
, Astronomical Image Processing System)
Other Systems
Printers: See
here
for details!
Visitor Systems:
vangogh
(Rm. 213) Ultra 10, single dish software, AIPS++
siamang
(Rm. 213) Alpha/OSF1 older system
astral
(Rm. 215) HP (owned by the Navy)
zee
(Library) Ultra 1
library pc
(guess where) Two of them, both NT systems; one has scanner
Ivy Road Systems:
Nucleus: Sparc 20, "sirius/polaris" analogy for IR Suns
Condor: Sparc Ultra 1, ALMA (dedicated)
Quetzal: HP 9000, runs HFSS (dedicated)
