This recent deployment, which was installed and runs using NAS' existing Linux infrastructure and support model, eliminates the need to purchase two engineering systems to support NAS researchers' works -- all tasks can now be done on a single piece of hardware. The new standard environment also provides researchers with a mobile Linux environment, allowing them to run codes remotely and off the network.
