CSE Users
Machines Available
There are two groups of machines:
- publicly accessible machines (servers for general users, Grad Lab machines, etc...)
- research machines (owned by specific research groups)
General users should use the publicly accessible machines to run long term processes.
The computer servers available for this purpose are:
- julius.cs.umn.edu - Sun Fire V440 with 8GB memory and 4 processors
- dio.cs.umn.edu - Dell Poweredge 6950 with 14GB memory and 8 processors
A list of machines available for remote access can also be found at
CSE Remotely Accessible Machines.
Steps to follow
If you are using the Grad Lab machines to run long term processes then you should do the following:
- nice the process
-
Send an e-mail to
operator@cs.umn.edu
with
- Process id’s
- What machine they are on
- What project they are for
- Expected end date
Attention Grad Lab users: Please do NOT reboot the machines just because
you think they are slow. This can interrupt other people’s processes running on those
machines and it could also corrupt the file systems on the machines badly enough that will
require reinstalling the machines, which helps no one.
If you feel a system is slow, send an e-mail to
operator@cs.umn.edu
or call 612-625-0876 to report the problem. The Systems Staff can determine if there is a problem and
help to resolve it. There are very few problems that require a reboot.
