Linux Compute Servers
Our Linux server pool consists of a number of very high end servers with many CPU cores and a large memory foot print. These Linux servers are available for all engineering students, faculty, and staff to use from anywhere on campus or remotely via the VPN interface. The current list of Linux servers is:
Linux server list and specifications
| Server Name | OS | CPU | Cores | Threads | Memory | Graphics Card |
| engr-lcs1.uncc.edu | RHEL 8 | AMD | 64 | 128 | 1TB | NVIDIA Quadro |
| engr-lcs2.uncc.edu | RHEL 8 | AMD | 64 | 128 | 1TB | NVIDIA Tesla |
| engr-lcs3.uncc.edu | Ubuntu 20.04 | AMD | 64 | 128 | 1TB | NVIDIA Quadro |
| engr-lcs4.uncc.edu | Ubuntu 20.04 | AMD | 64 | 128 | 1TB | NVIDIA Quadro |
All engr-lcs servers have 1TB of scratch disk space in the /scratch1 folder. Files in the /scratch1 folder are automatically deleted after 30 days.
These servers are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You may use the FastX Remote Desktop interface for a graphical experience or ssh for advanced users who prefer a non-graphical interface. All of the Linux compute servers are running the 64 bit version of either RedHat Enterprise Linux 8 (RHEL 8) or Ubuntu 20.04 as shown in the table above.
Engineering faculty and staff may also choose to use Linux for their office workstation. If you would like to convert your office workstation to Linux, please contact the Mosaic Linux team so that we can discuss your needs.
