Laboratory Mission Statement

The main objective of the laboratory is to provide post-graduate students, undergraduate (iniciação científica and final project) students and research staff with a UNIX based computing environment for teaching, and research and development projects.
 

Laboratory Resources

The laboratory houses a large number of workstations (IBM RS6000s running AIX, Sun SPARCs running Solaris) as well as Linux based PCs connected by fast ethernet and ethernet networks and connected to the Internet via ATM and a fibre optic links. Virtually all of the equipment has been obtained through project grants and finanical support from the following Brazilian institutions CAPES, CNPq, FINEP and FAPERJ.

Our Domain Name is ic.uff.br
 

Laboratory Support Team

A rapid response team is responsible for the smooth running and adminstration of the Laboratory. If you have or notice any problems, please contact us via the following email address suporte@ic.uff.br.

Note that the team does not provide help to solve programming, course work or "how to use software" related problems. However, a quick reference guide is available to help you with FAQ-type problems.

Laboratory Layout

The enterance to the Laboratory is situated next to the Post-graduation secretary's office. In order to gain access, Lab users must be in posession of a valid keycard and password (see here on how to obtain one). The laboratory consists of four rooms (Room numbers 350 H, I J1 and J2).

  • Sala 350 H, the Solaris Lab: Houses the Solaris-based Sun Ultra Workstations with 21 inch colour monitors, as well as the Laboratory servers (Linux and Windows NT), two laser printers (mel for Linux based machines and aveia for Solaris machines), and network routing switches mounted in a rack.
  • Sala 350 I, the Linux Lab: Houses the laboratory's Linux machines. This includes both an 8-node PC cluster (undergraduate final project) and a network of Red Hat Linux PCs with 17 inch monitors for general use.
  • Sala 350 J1, the Projects Room: Houses a handful of (currently just three) networked Window PCs available for general use as well as a varying number of Windows PCs which belong to specific projects. Responsibility for these project specific machines lie with the respective project coordenators. The coordenators have graciously permitted lab users access to their machines on the condition that no software be installed nor any configurations modified. Further more, project members should be given priority access to their respective machines.
  • Sala 350 J2, the Linux Project Room: Houses a network of Linux PCs which also belong to a specific project. Again, the coordenator has graciously permitted lab users access to these machines on an "as is" basis (i.e. no system support will be provided for non-project members).

Individual user accounts permit access to all Solaris and Linux machines. A single user account has been created to access the Laboratory's Windows PC. The username and password is available on the Laboratory white board (to be found hanging on the wall imediately beside the Lab entrance door) together with other pertinent information.

Users are remained of their responsibility to be aware of the current Laboratory Regulations.
