Departmental Computers and Networks
Networks
The chemistry department has four major networks within the chemistry building:
- A faculty/staff network with 25 workstations.
- A student computer classroom with 22 workstations.
- Laboratories with 80 workstations total.
- A UNIX network in the student computer classroom with 4 UNIX workstations.
Chemistry Student Computer Lab (CB280)
This student computer classroom has 22 IBM-compatible 350 MHz Pentium II stations and 4 Silicon Graphics Indigo2 XZ UNIX-based workstations. The IBM stations are available to all chemistry students, while the SGI stations require an application for a personal account or an assigned class use. Room 280 is open during the day, with upper division students gaining evening and weekend use through the use of card-key access.
The IBM stations use WinNT and have a wide variety of software available. A partial list of the software includes:
- MS Office (Word, Excel, Access, Power Point)
- Origin 5.0 (technical graphing)
- Alchemy III (molecular modeling - mechanics)
- PC Spartan Pro (ab initio and semiempirical calulations)
- Isis/Draw 2.1 (chemical structure drawing)
- ChemWindow and ChemWeb 3.1
- Organic Nomenclature (tutorial)
- SpectraBook I and II (nmr,cmr,ir,ms)
- Spectral Interpretation
- IR Tutor
- Tools of Chemistry (sig figs, exponents, dimensional analysis)
- Concepts of Chemistry (mole concept, stoichiometry, ionic reactions, oxidation/reduction, ionic equilibrium)
- Lewis Diagrams
- Comprehensive Chemistry (CD-ROM)
|
- Labworks (data collection spreadsheet)
- WinQual (inorganic qualitative analysis)
- Periodic Table
- SQUALOR (qualitative organic)
- Varian GC-MS Software
- Racoon (nmr simulation)
- Varian AAS Software
- Xwin server for use of UNIX workstations
- NMR Tutor *Chem Draw Pro 4.5
- Raswin
|
The Silicon Graphics stations are used primarily for molecular modeling and computational chemistry (Sybyl, MM2, MM3, ab initio, density functional and semiempirical methods) and have the following software:
- SPARTAN
- BioSym InsightII and Discover
- CeriusII (solid state modeling)
- XMosaic
- A variety of other utility programs
