Computer Science Ferrantello Falcon Lab/Theatre and Dance Design Studio -- Performing Arts Center 408
The Computer Science Ferrantello Falcon Laboratory is 20 Linux computers in the general-access lab space in the Performing Arts Center. The Intel-based computers run Nixos Linux and host all the tools students need to program in a variety of programming languages. CS lab sections and courses use the machines during the teaching day and students use them for homework projects after hours. Students can also log in to the lab remotely from anywhere on campus.
Computer Science Servers
The CS department maintains a pair of its own servers, a file server supporting the Computer Science Ferrantello Falcon Laboratory and a locally-hosted version control server. The file server has 3TB disk storage and provides access on any Lab machine. The other server, for exchanging code between students and faculty, uses the industry standard Git version control system. Both servers have local disk backup.
