- What would you like to know?
-
- We have three rs6000's that are used as number crunchers.
- We have a raft of nexts that are hooked to the same
- ethernet.
-
- Typically people use Edit to write their code, Stuart to
- connect to the IBM, xlf on the IBM to compile their code,
- run the code, and use nxyplot, mathematica, SciPlot, and
- hippoplotimus to look at results, and FrameMaker and TeX to
- write their papers.
-
- The Nexts and the IBM's share a common user filespace via
- NFS.
-
- There are basically two programs that people run on the
- console of the IBM's. XV and flight.
