The naming scheme of systems in the hackspace (hostname) is "people involved in computing". However, pronunciation issues rule out names like Dijkstra, Kay and Hoare.
Old names
Names used on systems no longer in use.
- Knuth
Current names
- Turing (Bitfolk VM) - CPU Traffic
- Babbage (Server in the space) - source
- Lovelace (Workstation - Makerbot) - source
- Flowers (Media PC) - source
- Postel The SGI O2 - source
- Bell The door/building management controller - source
- Marconi (Spare laptop 1, needs wireless drivers installing)
- Hopper (The vending machine) - source
See Laboratory 24/Network for details on these machines.
Potential names
- Booch
- Boole
- Borg
- Church
- Colin
- Cray
- Denning
- Draper
- Hamming
- Hopper
- Kohonen
- Lamarr or Hedy (sp?)
- Perlman
- Shannon (sp?)
- Wilson
Potential names on the edge of the scheme
- Armstrong - FM
- Asimov
- Backus - Naur Form
- Bell
- Beer - Regulatory systems
- Black - Feedback amp
- Brown - Servomechanics
- Dirac - Quantum mechanics
- Edison - Electrical engineering
- Erwin - Userfriendly character
- Faraday
- Flood - Prisoner's dilemma, travelling salesman problem
- Gray - Music synth
- Heron - Automata
- Korolyov - Rocket Science
- Marconi - Radio telegraph
- Markov
- Maxwell - Electromagnetic theory
- Moog
- Neumann
- Norton - Circuit analysis
- Pitts - Neural Networks
- Reeves - PCM
- Simon - AI
- Smith - RF analysis
- Tesla
Potential names not from the scheme
- Pong/Ping
- Micropig/Spiderpig
- Bubbles, Buttercup & Blossom
- heck-a-tombical plus minus
