Computer Center
AUEB has one of the largest and most up-to-date computer center facilities in the country. It occupies an area of approximately 700 m2 and holds an extensive library of educational, scientific and business software.
The Computer Center tailored for the research and teaching needs of the University comprises to the following hardware and software facilities:
- One DEC Alpha Server 1000A 5/400 (450 MHz.) mainframe, running Open/VMS, and configured with 640MB RAM, 5 hard disk units with 26GΒ total capacity. The software includes TCP/IP, Fortran, Pascal, C, SAS, SPSS, TSP, NAG, MIS and ORACLE 7 server (full development system).
- Two Silicon Graphics Origin 200 mainframe systems, with (4) processors (R10000, 180 MHz, RISC 64 bit) each, running IRIX 6.4 (64 bit UNIX). The software includes Email-server, FORTRAN 90 and 77, C++, Pascal, Mathematica, Informix and ORACLE 7.
- One Compaq ProLiant 1600 system with (2) Pentium II 450 MHz. processors, 512 MB SDRAM, 3 hard disk units with 27 GB total capacity, a DAT tape drive 12/24 GB and four Fast Ethernet 100 Mbit/s adapters. This system is the primary Windows 2000 Server having the task to control and administer the usage of (240) Windows NT Workstations (Pentium MMX) located in five computer labs at the Computer Center. In addition there are two Pentium Pro systems used as secondary Windows NT Server and Network Router respectively.
- Serving more than 7,000 users, the Computer Centre research and teaching facilities include five computer labs (classrooms) with a total of 236 Pentium MMX systems, used either as terminals to the Mainframes (IRIX and VMS) or as Windows NT workstations. The workstation software includes the MS Office, SPSS, Internet Explorer etc.

Famous quotes containing the words computer and/or center:
“What, then, is the basic difference between today’s computer and an intelligent being? It is that the computer can be made to see but not to perceive. What matters here is not that the computer is without consciousness but that thus far it is incapable of the spontaneous grasp of pattern—a capacity essential to perception and intelligence.”
—Rudolf Arnheim (b. 1904)
“Placing the extraordinary at the center of the ordinary, as realism does, is a great comfort to us stay-at-homes.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
