ENGINEERING COMPUTING FACILITY HOME PAGE
Director: Mr. Phil Poulos
Welcome to the Engineering Computing Facility home page. ECF provides a
variety of computing services for teaching and research within the
Faculty, as well as offering support for departmental computers and
computer communication throughout the Faculty. ECF has three networks
accessible to the Faculty from hundreds of terminals. Every undergraduate
and graduate student in the Faculty is entitled to an ECF account, and
relatively few constraints are placed on the usage of the system. The
intention is to have the computing system used as often as the student
requires it in his or her studies, just as one might use a library or
other communal resource.
Normally, access is by terminals on campus. While students are not
required to have their own computers, it is recognized that many do, and
facilities are provided to transfer data to and from the ECF system so
that personal and University computers can compliment each other.
There are three major components to ECF. The first is the ECF UNIX labs,
the second is the ECFPC labs, the third is a multi-processor unit. The
ECF UNIX labs consist of 175 PCs running LINUX RedHat.
The ECFPC labs consist of 175 PCs running WINDOWS 2000.
The multi-processor unit is an SGI Origin 3200 with 8
processors and 2 gigabytes of memory.
