Facilities (Labs, Spaces, Servers, and Active Learning Classroom)
The Department of Computer and Information Sciences maintains various labs, spaces, servers, and active learning classroom for students, and this page contains information about those.
The usage of either of these facilities is subject the Department's Laboratory Usage Policy.
-
- This lab is exclusive to majors in the Department of Computer and Information Sciences.
- Providing undergraduate CS students with secure access to a stable Linux environment where they may hone their project development and programming skills, focus on homework, research projects, practice web and graphical design, group work, and student club in a protected space tucked away from the hustle and bustle of public computer labs on campus.
- Provides students with access to a host of development workstations running the latest versions of Linux, MacOS, and Windows. This lab offers a more flexible work environment to versatile programmers looking to apply their skills on a wide variety of platforms.
-
- This lab is exclusive to majors in the Department of Computer and Information Sciences. This lab is used as a collaborative space as well as a Virtual Reality lab. Access to more equipment is available upon request.
-
- The main purpose is to provide a collaborative work space to our students. Currently the lab has a large sized displayz with VGA and HDMI interfaces available upon request, and an overhead projector. Students can bring their own laptops and use IU Secure Wi-Fi. This space could be used for group work, software development, HCI, robotics, etc.
-
- Exclusive to Informatics students and others enrolled in select Computer Science & Informatics courses. Outfitted with dozens of high-performance (Apple) workstations that run MacOS and Windows with nearly 25+ NVIDIA GPUs compatible with the latest CUDA libraries. Highly configurable network offering blazing-fast parallelization opportunities. The GPU and Network resources offer a large potential for deep-learning, and parallel processing projects.
-
- This lab is dedicated to Integrated New Media Studies students. It is designed to facilitate recording videos and other media.
-
- Exclusive classroom to support active learning in CS and Informatics courses. This room is equipped with several group work tables and computers with large screens, plenty of white boards, and is easily reconfigurable.
-
- A highly configurable space designated for CS majors and graduate students. Computing clusters may be configured in this space with the knowledge that computing servers and clusters, robotics equipment, and embedded systems may be housed without fear of tempering from outside and/or network-based influences. Work side-by-side with Computer Science & Informatics faculty on more advanced, graduate-level projects.
-
- Students have remote access to suite of SSH servers. For more information regarding connecting to the servers, contact the lab supervisor.
- The department also hosts the powerful Bioinformatics server for computations on biological data. Contact Dr. Murli Nair for more information.
-
- Access to IU's specialized research computing infrastructure including IU's Big Red II supercomputer, high performance computing cluster, mass storage, as well as visualization systems.

-
- Isolated security lab for Introduction to Computer Security course.
- Raspberry Pi clusters for Operating Systems course.
- Computing clusters for Parallel and Distributed Computing course.
- Powerful GPU machine for Applied Deep Learning course.
- Arduino for introduction robotics to students in courses and summer camps.
- Programmable Logic IC Development Tools and Raspberry Pi for Hardware Design course.
In addition, the labs are used to support advanced courses in Computer and Information Sciences and Informatics. Some of the special configurations are listed below
