About Eos Engineering Computing

The College of Engineering at North Carolina State University offers its students one of the best academic computing environments in the world. Formerly an engineering-only system, Eos was expanded to other NCSU colleges in a project called "Unity." All NCSU students, faculty, and staff now receive campus Unity accounts on what is now a fully merged system.

The Eos computing environment runs on hundreds of workstations across the college, in labs and collaboratories, on both main and Centennial Campus. It is taught to entering engineering students in E115: Introduction to Computing Environments.

Eos is a distributed client-server network running AFS, a location-independent file system that delivers an unparalleled suite of engineering applications to three platforms-- Sun Solaris, Microsoft Windows, and Red Hat Linux--and to student-owned computers through remote access and the Virtual Computing Lab.

In 1990, engineering students selected “Eos,” Greek goddess of the dawn, as the name for the college's new computing environment, which was originally built with technologies developed in Project Athena at MIT and Project Andrew at Carnegie Mellon University.
