Lab Environment


This section describes the work environment in the DSG lab. If you decided to work at home, make sure you read the corresponding pages in the lab organization section.

The lab is situated in the Argentinierstrasse 8, 2nd floor. The lab is not open 24x7, so please check the opening hours . In the lab, several computers running Linux can be used with the accounts you already got in the preparation meeting. Since the number of available machines is relatively small compared to the number of registered students taking the lab, we recommend to work at home (see Working at home ) whenever you can. Especially, around submission deadlines the lab is usually crowded! Take this into account when testing/submitting your solutions.

The lab machines consist of two servers and 19 PCs. See the machine environment page for further details.

If you encounter problems in the lab (either with hardware or software), contact our technician Hubert Strauss . Be as specific in describing your problem as possible - otherwise it may take a long time until we discover and solve your problem.

As usual, some basic rules apply in the lab:

  • smoking is forbidden,
  • food is not allowed,
  • keep the noise level in an acceptable range
  • help collegues solve their problems, but
  • do not give away your solutions and
  • do not copy from others.
  • do not abuse the lab infrastructure (machines, network, servers, ...) for personal, non lab-related tasks. We monitor the network and what is happening on the machines!
  • Finally, do not destroy or steal the inventory, please ;)
