Workstations
Teaching Labs: Workstations
There are approximately 256 workstations available in the Huxley teaching labs. Please note that timetabled lab and tutorial sessions have priority over all other uses; details are usually posted on the door of each of the rooms, if not, please check the room timetables.
The workstations are either dual boot 64-bit Microsoft Windows 10 and 64-bit Ubuntu 20.04 Linux (all PCs in 202 and 206), or have Linux with a Windows 10 virtual machine (the majority of PCs in 219). There are 6 Macs running MacOS X in 206, managed by ICT.

General notes:
- At some times, the gpu machines may be allocated to specific students for project use - if so the affected machine(s) will not be available for general access.
- Almost all general-purpose lab computers feature a basic, discrete CUDA-capable graphics card.
- Some gpu work-stations are fitted with more-advanced, Nvidia CUDA-capable or AMD OpenCL-capable graphics cards.
- All systems have flat panel LCD colour displays, and are networked via 1Gb/s Ethernet.
- The point, edge and ray machines are single-boot Linux. Windows is normally available as a virtual service on these machines.
- See the Linux services page for information on remote login.
Special Test software/services
-
Wayne Luk's Custom Computing group have node-locked licenses for the Maxeler FPGA Hardware Compiler (see the Maxeler website) to run on some lab machines. The software itself lives in /vol/cc, and is intended to be used for MSc projects and practicals for the Custom Computing course, please email Wayne Luk for more information.
