IT Labs Users
IT Labs machines are to be used primarily for instructional purposes,
but they can be used for research purposes if your advisor obtains permission
from Professor Paul Strykowski (pstry@umn.edu),
Associate Dean for student affairs. Your processes should not interrupt normal class activities.
There are some computer servers available for running long term processes. They are:
- zeus.itlabs.umn.edu - Sun T1000 with 8GB memory and 6 cores
(with 4 threads/core, which makes it look like 24CPUs)
- apollo.itlabs.umn.edu - Dell Poweredge 1430 with 8 cores
There is also an 8 machine ‘candy bar cluster’ in IT Labs consisting
of 8 SunFire V210s with 2GB of memory and 2 processors each. They are:
- almondjoy.itlabs.umn.edu
- crunch.itlabs.umn.edu
- heath.itlabs.umn.edu
- kitkat.itlabs.umn.edu
- milkyway.itlabs.umn.edu
- mounds.itlabs.umn.edu
- snickers.itlabs.umn.edu
- twix.itlabs.umn.edu
A list of machines available for remote access can also be found at
IT Machine Listing.
There has been mention of the 'itclus' machines in IT Labs. These machines
are for specalized class purposes only and not for running long term
processes. These machines are being used for a particular class this
semester and we will limit access to them if we have to. Do NOT run any
processes on these machines unless you are in the class that is using
these machines.
If you want to run processes for a class that would take long time, 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
