¶ CDF Computing resources
The computers in the CDF fall into three categories.
The two left-hand PCs date from 2018, but are nevertheless powerful and well equipped.
The two-right-hand PCs date from 2019, and have been regularly used for mid-range computational tasks.
The display computer is a large screen PC/TV hybrid intended for visual collaboration, rather than development or processing.
If any software needs to be upgraded, re-licensed or installed, please contact John Maxwell.
¶ Display Computer
A large format touch screen PC with webcam, wireless keyboard and mouse, for conference-style interaction.
Can be used either as a stand-alone PC or to share screens of a laptop, using the ClickShare technology provided on the table to the right.
It is a Windows 10 machine with COMET-CE, Office Suite and various other software.
