The Linux computers use the EAS Linux setup found in research labs across the department. The Windows computers are supported by the ITaP TLT group and are thus identical to ITaP labs and TIC sites across campus. Software requests for the lab should be submitted at least two weeks before the software is needed, to provide time for the software to be loaded and tested.

Graduate students receive 2GB of personally-assigned space upon requests. Group shared space is available for purchase. All data stored on hypocenter is backed up nightly. For more information visit the hypocenter FAQ or e-mail eas-help@purdue.edu.
