A new new Linux terminal server econ3.econ.iastate.edu is now available in the department. Its main purpose is to support high performance research computing, and is available for use by all economics and CARD faculty and staff.

An Adobe Acrobat document (“High Performance Linux Terminal Server.pdf”) provides information on how to connect to the server and launch selected software titles installed on it (e.g., R, Matlab, and Gauss). The document also provides details on the hardware, backup and maintenance procedures, access to file servers and printers, and resource-management policies.

Please contact Economics IT staff at econtechs@iastate.edu (John Inama, Tan Nguyen, and Mike Long) if you have any questions about the server.
