Environments
Sun Environment
The Sun environment in the Physics Department consists of a number of Sun servers and numerous Sun workstations. Most Sun workstations are used by faculty, but a number can also be found in the various public-access computer rooms. Users' home directories reside on a master file server and are mounted across the network via NFS for user access.
Please note that the Sun environment is being retired. Please use the Linux systems at shell.physics.rutgers.edu.
Users can access the Sun environment as follows:
- Locally on a Sun machine
Or - Remotely to 'physsun.rutgers.edu' via 'ssh' or an ssh-based client
In both cases, login is via the Physics email account and password.
Linux Environment
The Linux environment in the Physics Department consists mainly of three separate Linux 'clusters' used by grad students, postdocs and faculty.
The 'omorika' machines are found mainly in the ARC building and are used by grad students
(five omorika machines are located in the ARC terminal room for general use).
The 'fermion' machines are found on the 2nd floor of the Serin building and are used by CM grad students.
The 'strings' machines are found on the third floor of the Serin building, and are used by postdocs and faculty.
