The CEDA/Demography Lab is the computing facility for the UC Berkeley
Department of Demography,the Center for the Economics and
Demography of Aging
and The Berkeley
Population Center. The Lab consists of a small core of powerful Unix
servers, and 40 workstations running a recent version of Fedora
Linux. The lab is located at 2232 and 2224 Piedmont as well as
everywhere else in the world.
The lab is designed to provide a computing environment that is
optimized for research and teaching in Demography. All major (and
several not so major) statistical packages are supported as are
compiled and interpreted programming languages. Users have access to
large amounts of disk space and powerful UNIX processors.
Windows applications running under Wine emulation (on Linux) are supported for
administrative purposes.
The Lab is available to Faculty and Students of the University of
California, while they are engaged in teaching, learning, or research
in Demography.
New users are encouraged to study both the Getting Started document, and
the 12 most important
Unix commands.
