We have a reasonably sized list of available modules that we offer.
To see a list of modules currently available:
module avail
To load a module of an application:
module load application-module
(e.g. module load python)
To load a module of a specific version of an application:
module load application-module/version
(e.g. module load python/3.10)
To unload a module:
module unload application-module
(e.g. module unload python)
By default, each user is granted 16GB of storage in their home directory, but
we don’t recommend using that storage for temporary files.
/tmp: RAM backed storage
Each CADE machine has 32GB of VERY fast storage at /tmp intended for temporary files. This storage is local to each machine and is lost if the machine is powered off.
/var/tmp: SSD backed storage
If 32GB is not enough, you can use /var/tmp, which has ~200GB of SSD-backed storage. This storage is local to each machine and is retained across reboots.
/scratch: NFS backed storage
If you need more than 200GB, you can use /scratch/tmp, which is 10TB, but the speed will be significantly slower. This storage is shared across on all machines. We ask that you create a folder named with your username to keep it organized.
The license keys provided on the Azure Dev Tools for Teaching portal are controlled by Microsoft, not by the CADE Lab. We have no ability to issue new keys through the Portal. If you need an additional key for a specific software package, visit the Engman Lab Help Desk (WEB L210b) and we may be able to provide one for you in person.
The free Microsoft software is accessed by creating an account associated with your u#######@umail.utah.edu email address on the Azure Dev Tools for Teaching portal, and then signing in to the portal with that account. From the portal you can download installers or ISO images for the various software packages and obtain license keys if they are required by the specific package.
Instructions for accessing the Azure Dev Tools for Teaching portal can be found at http://www.cade.utah.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Azure-Dev-Tools-for-Teaching.pdf.
Most Microsoft software other than Microsoft Office is available to students for free through Campus’s Azure Dev Tools for Teaching subscription. This includes various Windows operating systems, Visual Studio, Visio, Project, and many more.
As of Spring 2019, the Engman Lab now has a color laser printer. Depending on the actual usage and cost of supplies for this printer this service may not be permanent. Printing to the color printer is around 5 to 10 times as expensive as printing to the black & white printers. As such, each color page sent to the color printer will reduce your print quota for the semester by 10 pages, and each black & white page will reduce your quota by 5 pages.
In order to prevent unintended or accidental color printing, access to this printer is granted using a security group. If you wish to use the color printer please contact the Help Desk in the CADE or Engman Labs and request access to the group. Once granted access please take care that you send print jobs to the correct printer to avoid accidentally printing in color when it is not intended.

You do not need to register your UCard for access to the labs, but a physical UCard is currently required.
The username and password for this account is the same for ALL Price College of Engineering computer lab computers (Windows, Linux, and macOS labs).
If you forget your username and/or password, or wish to reset it, you can do so from the same User Tools Link. This link can also be found under Quick Links, PCE User Tools – Password Reset.
If you haven’t already done so, after reading the description and deciding which license applies to your situation, you’ll need to purchase Matlab from OSL here: http://software.utah.edu/news/mathworks.php (click the ‘Shop For Software’ button)
For students and single-machine installs, you should see the following link on your receipt or e-mail from software@utah.edu describing the process to download and install Matlab: Instructions for Single User Licenses
OSL also has a full FAQ page dedicated to the new campus license for MathWorks software: http://software.utah.edu/faq/license/mwc/
The CADE Linux machines (lab1 and lab2) only allow incoming connections on ports 22 and 2100-2120.
This means that we allow incoming SSH connections (22), and allow students to host servers on 2100-2120.
