Computing Services

Did you know?

Did you know that CS can provide you a loaner laptop if you are going on a PRC-related trip?

The PRC has several laptops that we can loan out to PRC faculty and students when traveling for PRC-related functions or presentations.

If you would like to borrow a laptop please send an email to help@prc.utexas.edu with as much information as possible (function attending, dates away, and software needed) and we will accommodate your request as best we can.

Did you know that the PRC has a compute server that is accessible at the PRC and remotely?

By logging onto the compute server using your PRC login, you can access all of your files stored on the PRC network. In addition, the Compute Server has a number of statistical programs that you can use while logged in. These programs include SAS, STATA/IC 10, HLM, Mplus, and Stat/Transfer. Microsoft Office is installed as well for your convenience.

If you temporarily need to copy or write files locally to the compute server you can do so on the D: drive. The D: drive is not backed up and will be periodically cleaned of files much like the scratch drive (X:) is.

All PRC account holders have access to the PRC compute server. The compute server can be accessed directly from your PRC workstation or from your home system by first connecting to the UT VPN. VPN access is not needed when connecting from your PRC workstation.

More information on how to connect to the compute server is available in our Tech Tip C-02.

Did you know that the PRC offers individual, backed up, disk space on the T Drive?

Each PRC user has their own T: Drive. Currently, with the available space we have, you can store up to 2GB of PRC related files on your T Drive.

The data stored on your T drive is backed up on a nightly basis. We strongly suggest that you save your files to the T Drive instead of the C drive of your PRC computer because of the reliability of the regular backups. If something is only stored on your desktop C drive and the computer crashes, the information is likely not recoverable. To keep backup costs down, please do not save personal photos or music files on the T Drive.

You can also copy files to and from your T Drive when you are home by using SecureFTP. More information is available on SecureFTP in our Tech Tip C-03.
