Windows App Streaming – New Winter 2021
Engineering students now have access to app streaming through Microsoft Azure. This can be accessed through a webpage or using the Microsoft Remote Desktop App (Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android). Apps available for streaming are: ANSYS, AutCAD, Inventor, Civil 3D, Mastercam, MATLAB, Microsoft Project, Star-CCM, and Mathematica.
Linux Remote Computing
There are several ways to access Linux systems remotely. The protocols that we support are the Secure Shell (SSH), Secure Copy (SCP), Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), and VMWare Virtual Desktop (VDI).
SSH Access by OS
Most UNIX and Linux variants have SSH programs installed, frequently the OpenSSH version. To use the OpenSSH SSH client program on UNIX/Linux, simply type SSH followed by the name of the computer in a command shell.
General
Data acquired on instruments in CIF is archived in several ways, depending upon the instrument. Much of the archived data makes its way into the CIF Research Data Cloud. This is space managed and maintained by ISU Information Technology Services; we pay a small monthly rental fee.
X-ray Single Crystal Structure Determination
All single-crystal x-ray diffraction final results are available in the CIF Research cloud. The full framesets are typically very large files and they are archived on DVD's. If you would like to have a copy of framesets, please send a request to ellern@iastate.edu.
X-ray Powder Diffraction
Data acquired on the Rigaku powder diffractometer is available in the CIF Research cloud. Copies of files are also kept locally on the Rigaku operation PC. You may also want to copy your data to your flash USB drive in ASCII (text) format as the size of all resulting files is very small.
NMR Data
Once NMR data has been acquired, we encourage users to process their data using MNova, Topspin or VNMRJ on one of the four processing stations in Hach Hall or two processing stations in Gilman Hall. This reduces wait time for other users when instrumentation is busy.
Other Instruments
Data from the various spectrophotometers (IR, UV-Vis, CD, EPR) is archived on the cloud. The processing software for these datasets may or may not be available to install on your own PC. There are also open-source softwares available for processing.
What is a 1-to-1 connection?
The 1-to-1 connection with a dedicated computer and video card means better performance, from a computer loaded with licensed software students may use in coursework -- intensive graphics or modeling programs, for instance. With simplified access that was a necessity in some cases, VDI usage soared. About 1,600 students used a virtual lab computer after spring break, when Engineering and ITS staff made the switch in about two days, Shuck said.
Is the computer lab on campus empty?
Departmental computer labs on campus have been empty during the COVID-19 crisis, but they haven't all been idle. Thanks to some quick work by information technology services (ITS) and College of Engineering IT staff, students have easy access to the computing power and specialized software available on machines in some locked campus labs.
Can students connect to lab computers?
Students can connect to lab computers with almost anything that has a strong internet connection, including old laptops, tablets and smartphones. A student showed Shuck how he could use a powerful 3-D modeling program on his iPad, for instance.
