Computer Science Labs

A variety of computing facilities are available to students. Several laboratories are equipped with IBM-compatible microcomputers with Pentium-4 processors running the latest Windows XP Operating System. These computers are connected through a campus-wide Local Area Network with file servers that provide many different software resources. The LAN also provides access to the Internet. A segment of the LAN hosts a departmental SUN Ultra SPARC T2 processors, which provides computing resources under the Solaris Operating System (a popular version of UNIX). The department also has several Pentium servers supporting computer science applications. In the Student Research Lab, SUN workstations and IBM-compatible computers are available for the study of systems programming and computer networking by Computer Science students.

Computer Science departmental labs are located in the Coach House Computing Center. University- and College-wide computer labs in the Atrium and Science Hall are also available for sutdent use throughout the campus. All student dormitories and most of the buildings are Internet connected (via wired or wireless network). Computer Science students at home can access the departmental UNIX and other servers for homework, programming assignments, and projects via the Internet (using secure Telnet or FTP). Student Web sites are hosted on a system available to all William Paterson students at http://euphrates.wpunj.edu.
