RTDC Computers

We provide and maintain 7 Linux 64 bit workstations for use by R&G staff and visitors, and support the software packages AIPS, MIR, MIRIAD and CASA. Ask holly.thomas@cfa.harvard.edu or your R&G contact for an account.

These machines can be found in room M-342 on the 3rd floor of 160 Concord Ave.

See the current status of these machines here (updated every 15 minutes).

Remote access
• Find out about remote access to CF network here
• Running VNC on the RTDC (CF VPN access required)

Virtual machines
We have the option to runs virtual machines on RTDC8 and RGLINUX12. These VMs pull their software from Hilo and their home directories from the RTDC. This gives users the option to use Hilo installations while being able to process data locally. It also allows SMA users to mount their Hilo reduction directory. When the VMs are running, the host machines are still available for use, although they share their CPUs and memory with the VMs. If this would be useful to you please contact Holly.

Printers

There are four communal printers on the 3rd floor of 160 Concord Ave which are available from the RTDC computers.
