Silicon Hill Mystery Cache

Silicon Hill je nejvetsim klubem Studentske unie CVUT, organizace zastupujici mimoskolní zajmy studentu nejvetsi technicke univerzity v republice. Klub sidli na strahovskych kolejich a az na vyjimky jsou jeho cleny studenti zde ubytovani. Nekteri z nich se ve svem volnem case dobrovolne a bez naroku na odmenu venuji sprave mistni pocitacové site, kterou zde vybudovali vlastnimi prostredky, zastupuji ubytovane studenty u Spravy Ucelovych Zarizeni CVUT (SUZ) nebo se podili na realizaci projektu, odbornych prednasek ci workshopu.

Pocatky organizovane studentske cinnosti sahaji do roku 1993, kdy doslo k propojeni pocitacu nekolika ubytovanych studentu na bloku 8 a napojeni na server patrici jednomu z nich. Postupem casu se pripojovalo stale vice lidi a sit se rozrustala. Nezavisle na jejím vyvoji byla v arealu koleji vytvorena sit pro zamestnance Spravy ucelových zarizeni. Ta byla pripojena k síti CVUT a po nekolika jednanich doslo k realizaci tohoto pripojeni i pro sit studentskou. Na dalsich blocich vznikaly podobne site a postupne byly centralne propojovany. Paterni sit byla zalozena na 10Mb UTP kabelazi a do site CVUT pripojena 2Mb mikrovlnnym pojitkem. V roce 1997 byla linka mezi kolejemi a univerzitou posilena na 10Mb a o rok pozdeji doslo k prestaveni strahovske patere na 100Mb optiku.

Spolu se stale se zlepsujicim sitovym zazemim postupne pribyva pripojenych bloku. Nejprve, v roce 1995, jsou pripojeny bloky 2, 3, 4 a 9, ostatni bloky nasleduji a v roce 1999 je, s vyjimkou bloku 12, pokryt cely strahovsky areal. Od roku 2001 je pokryta i cast bloku 12 obyvana studenty CVUT.Sprava teto casti spada pod blok 11.

V roce 1998 se klub Silicon Hill stal soucasti Studentske unie, cimz ziskal vetsi moznosti pri spolupraci se skolou i ostatnimi kluby. Se vzrustajicim poctem clenu klubu vznikla potreba jejich evidence. Jiz v pocatcich site vznikla jednoducha aplikace v programu PC-Fand, ktera dostala nazev DUSPS a i pres své nedostatky vydrzela az do dubna roku 2001, kdy byla studenty vytvorena nova verze zalozená na SQL databazi a zabezpecenem webovem rozhrani.

Koaxove rozvody kralovaly strahovskym pokojum do roku 2002. Tehdy se rozhodlo o celkove rekonstrukci site, ktera zacala pokladkou optickych kabelu na misto patere a behem roku 2003 probehla na vsech blocich vymena koaxu za strukturovanou kabelaz. Realizaci zameru provadeli dobrovolnici pod dohledem odborne firmy.

Na jare 2005 doslo ke spojeni klubu Silicon Hill, ktery do te doby byl klubem pouze sitovym, se Studentskou Samospravou Strahova, ktera se starala o kolejni zalezitosti ubytovanych studentu. Spojeni umoznilo posileni vlivu klubu a lepsi propojeni jednotlivych slozek. Dale bylo behem prazdnin otevreno na bloku 2 fitcentrum.

V roce 2006 se v klubu stalo hodne prelomovych veci, tak zde vybereme alespon ty nejdulezitejsi. Klub Silicon Hill se rozrostl o novych 200 clenu z Hlavkovy koleje, ktera se k nam pripojila. Byla zalozena SiHi s.r.o., ktera zacala provozovat studentskou restauraci Rychta pod blokem 8 a dale jsme navazali spolupraci s firmami Microsoft, HP a Intel.

V roce 2007 ziskal klub Silicon Hill budovu byvale pradelny u hradeb za blokem 7, ve ktere po rozsahle rekonstrukci vzniklo skolici centrum s prednaskovym salem a ucebnami. Tim jsme ziskali prostory pro vznik Autodesk academie a Microsoft IT Academy.

Behem roku 2008 vzniknul Serverhousing na bloku 4, do ktereho se presunuly nektere stroje z Centralni serverovny na bloku 8 a vzniklo misto pro dalsi servery. Dale klub Silicon Hill oslavil 10 let od sveho vzniku a na prelomu roku 2008 a 2009 bylo zrychleno pripojeni Strahova do internetu z 1Gbit/s na neuveritelnych 10Gbit/s.

Silicon Hill is one of Student’s Union CTU club, an organization that takes care about after-school activities of the students of the largest technical university in the Czech Republic. The club resides at Strahov hostel and the majority of its members are inhabited here as well. Some of them without any reward spend their free time on keeping local large computer network completely built and financed by students, representing other students at SÚZ or taking part in projects, lectures or workshops.

The roots of organized student’s activities are in 1993, when a couple students at block 8 connected their computers together and they ran a server belonging to one of them. As the time passed, more and more people got connected and the network was spreading. Independent on its evolution was created another network at the hostel, which should have served for employees of SÚZ. This network was connected to the CTU network and after a few meetings the same happened with the student’s one. Similar networks were estabilished at other blocks and they all were gradually joined together. The backbone network used 10Mb UTP cables and it was connected to the CTU network with 2Mb microwave link. In 1997 the link was upgraded to 10Mb and one year later the backbone was rebuilt with 100Mb optical cables.

The better were the network conditions, the more blocks were connected. In 1995 the blocks 2, 3, 4 and 9 joined and the others soon followed, until in 1999 the whole Strahov hostel, except for block 12, was covered. Since 2001 the part of the block 12, where CTU students live, was connected, too. The administration of this block is done at block 11.

In 1998 Silicon Hill became part of Student’s Union, which gave us better possibilities of cooperation with the university and other clubs. It was also required to handle the increasing number of members. In the beginning of the network was created a simple application in PC-Fand software, that was named DUSPS (the abbreviation of the Student’s Computer Network Users Database in Czech) and although it had many imperfections, it had been used until April 2001, when we created a new version based on SQL database and secured web interface.

In 2002 we decided to replace ubiquitous but insufficient old coaxial cables with more satisfactory ones. Consequently, the network was completely reconstructed in 2003. The backbone is now formed with optical cables and within all of the blocks a structured cabling is used. This was realized by volunteers with the assistance of professional company.

On spring 2005 Silicon Hill, which was only network club, joined Strahov Student’s Autonomy, which organized hostel activities of inhabited students. This increased the influence of the club and helped us to collaborate more efficiently.

Matematika provazi kazdeho inzenyra uz od narozeni. Ve skolce sklada domecky z kosticek, hraje si s drevenymi voltmetry a nebo stavi vlastni parni stroj. Vse dukladne propocitava, ale ono to pada, shori nebo vybouchne. Prvni kroky po chodbach zakladni skoly vedou vetsinou do laboratori fyziky ci chemie, kde dale testuje vlastni hypotezy typu "papir polity benzinem hori daleko rychleji" nebo "sodik je prvek, se kterym bych si nemel hrat, mam-li mokre ruce". Stredni skola uz je ve znameni dukladne navrhnutych vesmirnych letu, nezdarenych pokusu vyroby atomove bomby, hackovani vsemoznych serveru a nebo vysokonapetovych vyboju v atmosfere. A pak se mlady inzenyr dostane az na Strahov, kde potka stejne silence a cela historie se zacne opakovat...

Kes se nachazi v arealu koleji strahov a jeji finalni odlov neni nikterak narocny. Pro normalniho cloveka muze byt schranka trochu netypicka, pro rozeneho strahovaka je ale prirozenejsí nez pivni pullitr :). V kesi je tuzka, ale pro jistotu doporucuji vzit i vlastni, do krabicky se vejdou mensi spise "placatejsi" predmety, GC a TB jsou vitany. Opravdu vitane jsou ale vesele studentske prihody, ktere se tykaji strahovskych koleji popr. studentskeho zivota obecne. Sve neskutecne zazitky, ktere se opravdu staly muzete sepisovat v logu a klidne pridejte i fotku, v kesce na to bohuzel neni misto.

Pri odlovu lze navstivit nekterou ze studentskych hospudek (kterych je na strahove celkem 8) nebo si odchod do centra zprijemnit prochazkou pres petrinske sady ci Kinskeho zahrady.
