Preferred machines:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
| guam | Ultra 1/140, 320MB | (dedicated to 6760) |
| midway | Ultra 1/140, 320MB | Ken's desktop |
---------------------------------------------------------------------
| akron | | |
| boise | | |
| cheyenne | | |
| dallas | | |
| eugene | | first-floor cluster |
| fargo | Ultra 1/140, 64MB | (always defer to |
| gary | | anyone at the console) |
| winnipeg | | |
| xenia | | |
| yorktown | | |
| zebulon | | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Please observe the following policy when using machines
remotely:
- Defer to the console: Don't use a
public-cluster machine remotely unless there's no one at the console.
- Use nice +19: On any machine, preface any job
you expect to run for more than about 10 seconds with nice +19
to voluntarily lower its priority.
- Limit scripts: Avoid launching unattended jobs
(e.g., scripts of multiple simulation) that you expected to run for
more than about a half an hour.
- No parallel processing: limit yourself to
at most one 6760-related simulation per person active at a time in the
CoC.
