The servers

All these servers are large, shared servers with University Managed Desktop - Ubuntu LTS.

If you are a taught student you will only have access to the teaching servers.

Everyone else automatically has access to the research machines. Please reserve the teaching machines for undergraduates and teaching use only.

All servers include easybuild modules to align more closely with Viking.

Acceptable Use Policy

We try to avoid imposing restrictions so that we can make the most of the servers. However to ensure fairness we have some ground rules:

Users must not deliberately impact others' work
Only use one server at a time
Do not exceed 50% of the cores or memory
Monitor the usage of your own and others using top or similar. This can also kill processes - see help guide
Do not run more copies, or for more time than required for your work.

If your job will run for more than a few days it may be faster to run it on our HPC: /wiki/spaces/RCS/pages/39159378

IT Services will restrict or terminate processes and user accounts if they are having an unreasonable impact on the service or other users.
