Computer Usage

Many homework and all lab exercises will be computer based. All students may obtain a computer account at CCRMA in order to use the computer facilities. It is also possible to work entirely on your own computer, as long as you have the necessary software installed on it. Since Web access to some course materials is restricted to the Stanford domain, you should have at least one Stanford computer account.

Here is how to obtain a CCRMA computer account:

1. Execute the perl script

   https://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/cgi/newuser.pl

   from any CCRMA workstation, and enter the requested information. You need an existing CCRMA user (such as the TA) to log in for you while you complete this step.
2. Next, fill out a printed copy of the User Registration Form, available from the TA, or from /usr/ccrma/next/Library/CCRMA-Templates at CCRMA.
3. Turn in the completed form to the TA.

The TA will obtain the instructor's signature and forward the form to Fernando (nando@ccrma), who will set up your account and activate your Stanford ID cards for after-hours CCRMA access. This process should take on the order of a day.

Once you have your account, please log in at CCRMA and take a look at the User's guides tab in the left-frame menu of the main CCRMA website to learn more about computer usage and other facilities at CCRMA.
