-====== Physics Computer Lab Systems ======
-The Physics student computing lab is located in room 137 of Tate Lab, and the Astronomy computer lab is in room 469B.
-===== Accounts =====
-Graduate students should find they have accounts set up before they arrive; if not, please check our page on [[:computing:accounts:home:|accounts]]. Physics majors should have accounts created within the first few weeks of the year, though accounts can also be requested via the front office or through SPS.
-Remember - you need a **Physics account** to log in to these systems - your University Internet account will not work.
-{{  computing:department:lab_door.jpg|Room 137 Computer Lab}}
-===== Student Computer Lab (Room 137) =====
-==== Lab Access ====
-The computer lab is open to all upper-division undergraduate and pre-qualifier graduate students. Access is //currently// by a code, which is changed occasionally - Physics department members can find the current code [[http://www.physics.umn.edu/resources/computing/labcode.html|on this web page]] (login required).
-**Starting early 2008, we will be changing lab access to use the Ucard card reader**. To get on the access list, please update your Physics Directory entry to include your Ucard number: http://www.physics.umn.edu/people/
-==== Linux ====
-The lab contains five dual-core Pentium D Linux workstations, each with 2048MB memory.
-These can be used for any kind of general computing needs. They contain Mathematica, MatLab, compilers for C, C++ and Fortran, as well as various other programming tools. Microsoft Office is also available on these systems.
-     * Please don't reset or restart a workstation - someone may have jobs running on it, or be using it from another location.
-     * If you're going to run a cpu-intensive job, use condor so your job can run efficiently without affecting interactive users.
-     * Don't lock the screen and leave for long periods. If a workstation screen is locked, and someone wants to use it, we will reset your session.
-Users also have access to the department's computational facilities, of Alpha (Unix) and Linux clusters via the [[:computing:department:unix:condor|condor batch system]].
-     * [[:computing:department:unix|More about UNIX and Linux at Tate Lab]]
-==== Windows ====
-The lab also contains five Windows systems, each with 1024 Mbytes memory, running Windows XP.
-These contain the [[:computing:department:windows:software|standard Windows software]] set for Tate Lab: Microsoft Office, Firefox, Acrobat, Mathematica, etc.
-     * [[:computing:department:windows|More about Windows at Tate Lab]]
