IU SOIC machines

Warning

the current python version on these machines are outdated and are not suitable for programming use. However, they can be used toe create LaTex documents.

Machine information from IU SOIC is published at this Web page:

It is important to visit this page to look at the Tips before you send questions to us or the Help Desk.

If your computer is not powerful enough you probably can log into one of these machines to do LaTeX and other software for classes. In the case of python, you will have to make sure you have the right version. You can send a Help message to the Help Desk.

If you find a solution the works for you let us know so we add it to this page.

Burrow:
burrow.soic.indiana.edu The Burrow systems are available to all SoIC faculty, staff, and students (both graduate and undergraduate students in CS or Informatics) as well as non-SoIC students who are taking CS or Informatics classes requiring the use of these systems. Accounts are created automatically for all SoIC graduate students and for undergraduate students taking certain SoIC classes. If you are a faculty, staff, or undergraduate student in the CS or Informatics program and do not already have a Burrow account, you can request an account using the Help Desk. Note that account requests for non-SoIC students should come from the instructor of the class using these systems.
Sharks:
sharks.soic.indiana.edu The Sharks systems are available to all SoIC faculty, staff, and graduate students (CS and Informatics). Access can also be granted to undergraduate and non-SoIC students and guests with sponsorship by a member of the SoIC faculty. Accounts are created automatically for all SoIC graduate students (CS and Informatics). Accounts for other users can be created by having the faculty sponsor make the account request using the Help Desk.
