Typical specification:
CPU: I7
RAM:16/32GB
GPU (where installed): Nvidia 1080TI or 2080
Operation System: Dual-boot Win10 / Linux
Internal disks: 240/500 GB SSD + 1T HD

Authentication
Login to our workstations is done through the unique Technion authentication <username>@campus.technion.ac.il.
Students use the following user and password for login:
LINUX OS:
User = <username>@staff.technion.ac.il (Type ‘staff’ and not ‘campus’ !!)
Password = <unique password>
Win10 OS:
User = <username>@campus.technion.ac.il
Password = <unique password>
Note: For some students login with only <username> without suffix may also work as they have also an TDEF account with the same username. Please avoid using this option!
Hint: In order to switch from Win10 to LINUX or vice versa, reboot and choose preferred OS on boot.
“VISL Docker”
Our LINUX workstations have a version of Docker installed. Docker is a virtualization platform that enables to save software installations in a container and use the installation on different workstations. This enables to share workstations between different projects with different needs without reinstalling the software for each project. We call our installation of Docker the “VISL Docker”.
