Jefferson Lab uses a lab wide calendaring system. All staff are encouraged to use this system to schedule meetings, talks, etc with their colleagues. This system also allows you to reserve certain meeting rooms.
The locally-developed CUE environment provides common computing resources to users across Computer Center supported platforms and operating systems.
CUE centrally provides Computer Center supported software for both CUE Unix systems and CUE configured Windows PC's. CUE Software information can be found from the above link.
Current central system status can be found at the above link. This page shows the current status of central services as reported by the Computer Center System Monitor (Mon).
The Computer Center supports dial in through a Remote Access Server (RAS). The server has a total of 46 incoming lines available for general use. The lines are compatible with all modem speeds, including the V.90 standard for 56K baud modems. They also support ISDN connections. Configuration details and further detail for supported systems can be found from this link
The Computer Center provides email services for JLAB. Detailed information on email addressing, sending email, receiving email, supported email applications and their configuration, and JLAB directory services can be found on the Computer Center Email pages.
The software and applications that are Computer Center supported and maintained for CUE can be found from the above link. This includes software for Unix/Linux systems and Windows based PC's.
The Computer Center is now provides standard configurations for Linux systems that conform to the guidelines described in the JLAB Guidelines for Stand-Alone, Multi-User Computers. The first configuration is targeted toward the physicist who has no desire to manage their own system. It provides a full CUE system with /home, /group, /site, and /apps mounted on the local system. The second configuration is targeted towards those users who have a need to manage their own desktop system and provides utilities to assist the user in the proper management and maintenance of their system.
Information regarding services for Macintosh systems can be found from this link.
Please visit this web page for details concerning services that are provided for off-site use.
JLab has negotiated basic ordering agreements with several vendors. These vendors have web sites tailored for the use of the lab, providing pre-configured systems suitable for our environment. These systems are ADP pre-approved, so you can purchase a system directly from the web. Systems bought under this arrangement have on-site next business day support and maintenance for 3 years. The companies guarantee special pricing, and the system specifications and prices are regularly updated.
There are various printing resources provided by the Computer Center for site wide usage. Information on printing including printer locations and OS specific printing can be found on the Printing web pages.
The goal of Computer Security at JLab is to provide a secure, robust, and useable computing environment for the working community. This goal embodies the appropriate protection of data and resources from unauthorized used, protection from operational failures due to unauthorized use, and the use of procedures and policies that are effective without being operationally burdensome. Further goals are to ensure individual accountability for data, information, and other computing resources to which individuals have access, and to ensure that all applicable policies, directives, mandates and legal requirements are applied and adhered to. Information regarding Computer Security can be found from this link which provides instruction, direction, and details for security related applications.
An experimental RealMedia server is available for use in producing simple webcasts of events on site.
Central system statistics can be found at the above link. This information is provided for the central jlab unix multi-user systems as well as the ifarm systems. The detailed information includes the following:
- Load Averages
- Login Sessions
- Free Memory
- Number of Users
- CPU Utilization

Details regarding supported systems, available systems for general purpose or scientific computing, supported applications, printing, and miscellaneous documentation, can be found in the Unix Services pages.
Links to Video services provided by the Computer Center.
VRVS (Virtual Rooms Videoconferencing System) is a JLab Computer Center supported service. VRVS is a web oriented system for videoconferencing and collaborative work over IP networks. Details on VRVS can be found from this link.
Details regarding supported systems including system configuration guides, supported applications, software purchasing, printing, dial-in, and miscellaneous documentation, can be found in the Windows Services pages.
A number of web servers are deployed and managed by the computer center for various groups accross the site. These servers all rely on the CUE environment to provide a single installation that is tailored to each group's needs. Information on CUE web authoring, basic authoring, web servers, web configurations, apache build, and web server change requests can be found on the Computer Center Webserver pages.
Online Resources for NCD X-Terminal Users at JLab can be found here.X-Terminals are used to provide access to various Unix systems throughout Jefferson Lab. These devices are network attached, and provide a low cost workstation capable of displaying complex text and graphical applications.
