Academic And Research Facilities

 

Teaching and research are supported in the College of Computer Science and Engineering by a large heterogeneous network of workstations, servers and PCs. There are over 60 workstations including SUN, NeXT, DEC machines running under UNIX. The UNIX servers include alpha and mips based machines. The PC labs (comprising of pentium, 486, and Macs) are connected to the network. Besides the college PC labs, 16 other specialized labs are available to support teaching and research.

The university data processing center has IBM 3090, AMDAHL 5850 and UNIX based server and workstations. These are linked to the college facilities via a campus wide fiber optic token ring. All the college computing facilities are networked together through an ETHERNET local area network. Regional research centers and universities are linked through GULFNET. The College network is also linked to several international networks through Internet.​
