2011-2012 CS Faculty Requests (copied from 2010-11 below)

RequesterPlatformPackageComments
EM OS X,Win,Linux Processing Open Source, csc106
EM Python OS X,Win,Linux (which ever version the Department is standardizing on. I think thats 3.0)
EM PyOpenGL,GLUT, NumPy OS X,Win,Linux Open Source. If they paths work without intervention from the students that would be great. csc240
EM Blender OS X,Win,Linux Open Source. csc240
EM PovRay Win Open Source. csc240
EM Posray Win Open Source. csc240 (I think this is the authoritative link http://mysite.verizon.net/sfg0000/)
EM Eclipse OS X, Win, Linux The Java IDE version. Open Source. csc240 and general research
EM Pydev Eclipse plugin OS X, Win, Linux Open Source. csc240 and and general research
EM Apple XCode 4.0 with iOS SDK OS X We might need to get a site license for this. Smith College is a member of the University Dev program but that only give us free access to XCode 3.x at the moment. I think ETS has a enterprise membership so they may already have a site license. Otherwise enough seats will need to be purchased for CSC360. At least the graphics lab I guess. The non-bulk license is $5 a pop so it won't be expensive. If the college can't pay for the license then either the department or my funds can pay for it. The SDK is updated frequently so we need to make sure it can be kept up to date during Spring semester.
JF Apple XCode 4.0 with iOS SDK and iPhone simulator OS X

Adding to comments by Eitan above, I am using it for CSC220 (Fall). Would like to see it in

FH241 and FH243 is possible.

Email messages from Garfield 05/04/09 08:37 and Garfield 05/04/09 08:40

DEADLINE: Please submit your requests to cats@smith.edu by June 19th and give us the software, if we do not already have it. Please let us know if your software will not arrive by this date.

If we do not get the software by June 19th, it may not be incorporated into the software image and therefore may not be ready in time for start of fall classes.

All college-standard software & keyserved software will be installed. For a complete list see: http://www.science.smith.edu/resources/cts/faq/ Click on the Teaching/Classrooms link on the left and select 'What software is installed on the computer classroom machines?'

Departments who have had specialized software installed in the past will receive another email listing those specific courseware titles for your review.


Classroom Notes/Changes: The Windows start menu will improve. Instead of having individual "Departmental Programs" shortcuts, we will have all science software under the title 'Science Applications". We are working to coordinate this change in all classrooms across campus.

In addition: We still have a few recycled Dell PC's available to replace old lab machines in the Fall (late October time frame). Send requests/justifications to Kelly (khuard@smith.edu). Sorry, no Apple machines this cycle.

Please don't reply to this email address - this account is only used for sending annoying messages. Comments should be sent to cats@email.smith.edu.

The following software titles will be included for your department in the 2009-2010 software image for all computer classrooms. If there is anything on the list that does not need to be installed or there is anything additional, please let us know by June 19th. 

OS X:
Xcode Developer Tools

Windows XP:
Sketchup Pro
Emacs  
Gamemaker 7
CS354 Sound Apps

RequesterPlatformPackageComments
Dominique Linux Arduino I would like to have the Arduino drivers installed. The information needed is here:

Open source. This will be used in CSC231/CSC270

Joe O'R Windows/Mac blender

Open source. blender.org This will be used in CSC240 (Graphics)

Joe O'R Windows POV-ray

Open source. povray.org This will be used in CSC240 (Graphics)

Joe O'R Windows PyOpenGL, GLUT, NumPy

Open source. These will be used in CSC240 (Graphics)

Joe O'R Windows Poseray

Open source. This will be used in CSC240 (Graphics)

Joe O'R Windows GameMaker 7

Needs a liscense, but inexpensive. CS will purchase/upgrade. This will be used in CSC240 (Graphics)

Joe O'R Windows/Mac Flash

This will be used in CSC105 (Interactive Web Docs)

Joe O'R Linux CLISP

I use this in FYS164 (Iss. AI) and CSC290 (AI).

Ileana Streinu Windows, Mac Mathematica

Probably already standard in the image. Used in CS 252 (Algorithms).

Eitan M Win,Mac,Linux Eclipse for CSC260 (S10), the most current release of the "IDE for Java Developers" (not the Java EE version)
Eitan M Win,Mac,Linux JOGL for CSC260 (S10) Having the libs already in the java classpath would be great. Last semester there was some odd problems on some of the linux machines. On some machines textures didn't work properly. On others multi-threaded jogl programs didn't seem to work.
Eitan M Win,Mac,Linux Python for CSC111 (F09) The same version (2.6 or 3.0) should be available on all platforms. For csc111, I don't care which version is installed on all machines. I believe Dominique would like both versions installed but you should check with him.
Eitan M Win,Mac,Linux Processing Used in csc106 (F09) and possibly research and independent studies. The Linux install would be nice but isn't crucial if it is problematic.
Dominique Linux Mediawiki To be used by the whole department.
Dominique Linux MPI/OpenMP For CSC352, Parallel Programming
  • Main page: http://openmp.org/wp/
  • It would be nice to have it available on all the Linux machines in the CS classrooms.
Judy F Windows,Mac,Fedora Python: 2.6 and 3.0 both please

textbooks and some modules are not updated for 3.0 yet, and here is a link describing the differences, which are nontrivial:

Python: 2.6 and 3.0 both please

Zelle textbook isn't updated, but his graphics.py modules has been updated to 3.0 by someone else. Download:

Judy F fedora pure data

Just a note: This software and csound are both available on debian and ubuntu linux versions, but not fedora. This year it is too late to switch to ubuntu, but perhaps in a year or two?

Judy F Windows,mac,fedora processing

Eitan had been using this language for 106, but is now using python? I think we should keep it available.
http://processing.org/
I'm still using Processing for 106 and added it to the list above. The 106 with python was a typo (now fixed). I'm leaving this node here for posterity. - Eitan
