Computer

When in 1990 for the first time more than one (Sun3) Workstation was bought, Caterina Savi started the idea that we would name these workstations in such a way to honor statisticians and mathematicians. We chose to focus on the first names.

Hypatia was the famous Hypatia from Alexandria, one of the first famous female scientists ('hypatia' was for many years our file, mail and web server)

Further information including literature references on our computer names are available in the LaTeX file /u/sfs/tex/BEISPIELE/sfs-hostnames.tex. Technical information on these machines can be found in /u/sfs/info/sfs_compi.tex. From both files one can also directly open the corresponding pdf file.

The computing servers of the SfS are named ada mit n=1,...,14. Die cmath Maschinen wurden umbenennt:
alt neu
cmath-3 ada10
cmath-4 ada11
cmath-5 ada12
cmath-6 ada13
cmath-8 ada14

A list of computers with IP-number, RAM, including the room where it is placed and the user can be found under /u/sfs/info/sfs_compi.tex . /u/sfs/info/sfs_compi.dvi . This file is being maintained by Martin.

Those of you who need Host IP numbers from our machines can find these in /etc/hosts : less /etc/hosts

A list of all computer names (with short biographical description) can be found under /u/sfs/info/sfs-hostnames.tex
