Graphics Students -- I came in today (Saturday) and reinstalled the
NVIDIA 64 bit graphics drivers on all of the systems in CSC lab 200
(except for the ones that are marked for you to not use). I personally
tested compiling and running OpenGL code on each of these systems and
they work perfectly. These systems all have NVidia Quadro K620 graphics
cards -- and perform very well. I was getting around 300 frames per second.
Note -- the default boot for these systems is set to Windows. When you
reboot them you will need to scroll up to the FIRST CentOS installation
at the top of the boot screen. This will load CentOS 6.10 which is the
new kernel upon which I compiled the graphics drivers. If you don't do
this, you will most likely be stuck with a blue/white bar along the
bottom of the screen.
So -- you now have 13 systems available for you to use 24/7. I will
try to get the other systems online later next week.
If you want to use the GCC 6.4.0 compiler suite on these systems let me
know and I'll help you configure your .bash_profile
Stay marginally safe out there and code on...
