CAD and Visualization Laboratory

The CAD and Visualization Laboratory or CVL is a computer lab running mainly CentOS machines maintained by the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. It is located in 432 Whittemore Hall. Access is through a keypad, the number to which can be obtained through official channels from ECE systems administrator Branden McKagen. Disk quotas are enforced when home folders become unreasonably large, unless you have a good reason to need the space. The lab contains nine workstations (most with CentOS, a Core 2 Duo, 4 GB of memory, and dual monitors), a printer, and a microscope. The CVL cluster is available via ssh to account holders on cvl.ece.vt.edu and has MPI, MATLAB, Cadence, and other software installed.
