BUILDING 46 (E), ROOM 129

Students of computer science should familiarise themselves with various operating systems and programming languages during their university studies so that they are as well prepared as possible for their professional appointments. In the Linux laboratory, the computer systems are operated with"Linux Mint" and servers with "debian". The accounting, administration of resources and administration of the machines are made possible with unix-typical tools.

The laboratory therefore enables, among other things, the development and performance evaluation of parallel programs or the use of render farms in advanced university studies as well as practice-oriented training in various undergraduate courses using the Linux operating system.

  • Operating systems (synchronisation of parallel expires, shell programming, . . .)
  • Parallel Processing / Parallel Programming(OpenMP, Message Passing Interface, GPGPU, . . .)
  • Graphics (use of a render farm)
  • Web applications

LinuxLab resources

Resources

The Linux laboratory provides 25 workstations with the following resources:

Hardware
Lecturer workstation
With state-of-the-art media technology (audio equipment incl. headset and double video projection)
24 computers "Hyundai-ITMC Pentino H-Series MT Workstation"
Intel i7-10700 processor, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB M.2 SSD hard drive, Nvidia GForce RTX 3070, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 24" monitor
Operating system
Linux Mint
software
Development tools
Compiler, debugger, memchecker, ...
Office programs
LibreOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, ...
Programme libraries
TensorFlow, OpenGL, MPI, ...

The laboratory also has access to several servers for various services and the university's fast internet connection. The two high-resolution data projectors(beamers) can display the same image or different images from two computers. The projectors are used in many courses, as they can be used very well for the presentation of programs, configuration scripts, errors, graphics, etc. and thus significantly increase teaching success.
