General Computing Facilities

PC Lab provides general computing facilities to students of Electrical Engineering. Both Windows and Linux machines are present in the lab.

To run your own programs (written in C, for example), you can use the PC Lab Linux machines. These have addresses of the form 10.107.32.x.

New Servers for using Matlab

We now have two computation servers (Ravan and Rudra) for users who wish to run Matlab simulations. The procedure for using them is given below:

Linux/macOS users:

  1. Remote login to 10.107.1.5/6 using :

    ssh –X loginname@10.107.1.5 or ssh –X loginname@10.107.1.6

  2. Authenticate using your password.

  3. Open firefox on the server, use command firefox

  4. Open the URL http://matlab.iitb.ac.in/matlab/

  5. In the Matlab License Management Portal, authenticate using your Instutute LDAP Credentials, and close the browser.

  6. Run command matlab

Note: Your files will be preserved across all the servers and you can use any of them incase you feel one of them is running slow.

Note

Ravan - 10.107.1.5 : Matlab R2014b

Rudra - 10.107.1.6 : Matlab R2015b

Windows users:

  1. Make sure you have Xming, and PuTTY softwares installed.

  2. Start Xming

  3. Start PuTTY, go to PuTTY > Connection > SSH > X11 and enable X11 Forwarding

  4. Go to PuTTY > Session and enter Host Name (or IP Address) as 10.107.1.5 or 10.107.1.6 and click Open

  5. Authenticate using your password.

  6. Open firefox on the server, use command firefox

  7. Open the URL http://matlab.iitb.ac.in/matlab/

  8. In the Matlab License Management Portal, authenticate using your Instutute LDAP Credentials, and close the browser.

  9. Run command matlab
