Academic Unit


Large scale instructional and research (I & R) systems currently include: a Sun/Unix UltraSPARC cluster (Solix). The system is operated by Operations & Systems Programming and is accessible through the FIUnet. For more information, see Sun/Unix (Solix).

FIU's IBM RS/6000 SP2 hardware complex hosts a number of special academic applications. The largest single user of the SP2 is the University's Digital Library Project, which runs on four of the five existing SP2 "nodes." (A node is an RS/6000 system in SP2 lingo). Also resident on the SP2 is the WebCT course authoring system. This Worldwide Web-based system was introduced to support the College of Business Administration, as well as others, in preparing Worldwide Web-based courses.
