A few machines have special test software installed, or are running test services:

  * '''CUDA toolkit (version 3.0) and GPU SDK''' installed throughout the labs (on linux) in /usr/local/cuda (feb 2011)
  * '''gitk (version 1:1.7.0.4-1)''' installed on fusion07 for testing, to be installed everywhere very soon (dec 2010)
  * '''Condor''' has been deactivated and the '''CPU governor''' has been set to 'performance' (maximum CPU frequency) on the glyphs (may 2011)
Wayne Luk's Custom Computing group have just got node-locked licenses for the Maxeler FPGA Hardware Compiler
(see the [[http://www.maxeler.com/content/technology/|Maxeler website]])
to run on matrix01-12 and visual01-23. The software itself lives in /vol/cc, and is indended to be used for MSc projects and
practicals for the Custom Computing course, please email [[khtsoi@imperial.ac.uk|Kuen Hung Tsoi]] for more information.

Teaching Labs: Workstations

These are the workstations available in the teaching labs. Please note that timetabled lab and tutorial sessions have priority over all other uses; details are usually posted on the door of each of the rooms, if not, please check the room timetables.

The workstations are either dual boot 64-bit Microsoft Windows 7 and 64-bit Ubuntu 11.04 Linux, or Linux only. There are also 7 Macs running MacOS X in 210.

General notes:

  • At some times, the "project" machines may be allocated to specific students for project use and not available for general access.
  • Many of the above computers are fitted with nVidia CUDA-capable graphics cards (including GeForce GT 330, Quadro NVS, GeForce 9X00 and GeForce 7X00 series cards).

  • The configuration may vary slightly from the above on some machines.
  • All systems have flat panel LCD colour displays, and are networked via either 100Mb/s or 1Gb/s Ethernet.

  • See the Linux services page for information on remote login.

Special Test software/services

Wayne Luk's Custom Computing group have just got node-locked licenses for the Maxeler FPGA Hardware Compiler (see the Maxeler website) to run on matrix01-12 and visual01-23.
