The UO's Large Timesharing Systems

All UO faculty, staff, and students are issued a computing account that utilizes the UO's shared computing systems for email, wireless, dialin access, VPN, and Blackboard, and site-licensed software (see the software table on page 13).

Those needing to run more compute-intensive applications may sign up for an account on the Opteron cluster, six dual processor 64-bit AMD Opteron workstations running Red Hat Linux. For more information, see http://acad-cl0.uoregon.edu/ ("acad dash cee el zero dot uoregon.edu")

Administrative Systems

Daisy. Daisy is a large Alpha administrative system running OpenVMS/AXP. Access to Daisy is restricted to staff members who are performing administrative tasks such as grade processing and payroll.

The primary application running on Daisy is Banner, an administrative application environment based on Oracle, a popular large system database. For more details on administrative systems, see the Administrative Services website at http://ccadmin.uoregon.edu/

Special Accounts for Departments

Departments or university-recognized institutes, labs, or organizations can arrange for a departmental account. Such accounts are offered solely to provide an authoritative and unchanging home for departmental web pages and official departmental email, and must be officially requested by the department head or institute administrator. Contact Connie French at 346-1738 for more information.

Acceptable Use. Finally, please note that all use of university computing resources is subject to the university's Acceptable Use Policy, which is available in printed format from the Computing Center Documents Room (175 McKenzie Hall), or online at http://cc.uoregon.edu/policy/
