Workstations
Windows Workstations Print
Cameron_109_LabMosaic Windows running on an engineering class workstation is the dominant platform in the College of Engineering. In addition to the Windows workstations in the Mosaic labs, a large pool of Mosaic Anywhere servers are available to all members of the College of Engineering. Access to Mosaic Anywhere is available from anywhere via the use of the remote desktop software. Many of the software applications are only available for Windows. When an application is available for Windows and Linux it will generally be installed on both. To see the current Windows workstation in the Mosaic labs, open the lab map in the Mosaic home page.
 
Linux Workstations Print

Woodward_237Engineering faculty and staff may request to have Mosaic Linux as their operating environment. In general, applications run faster on Linux. Our Linux x-servers consist of very high end servers with many CPU cores and a large memory foot print. These Linux x-server are available for engineering members to use from anywhere using the NxClient interface. We currently support the 64 bit version of Red Hat Linux 5.6 Enterprise version. Faculty may request Mosaic Linux based workstations for their research endeavors. Only a certain class of workstations support the 64 bit Red Hat Linux so it is important to consult with the Mosaic team before you invest in transitioning to Linux.

Dual mode Mosaic workstations combine the best of Linux and Windows. Dual mode systems are set up to run Mosaic Linux with a virtualized Mosaic Windows XP. With a simple set of keystrokes, the user is able to switch between Mosaic Linux and the virtual Mosaic Windows XP. Only a certain class of workstations support the dual mode so please consult with the Mosaic team before you migrate to the dual mode. Currently, Woodward 237 is configured with 17 Mosaic Dual mode systems.
