Revision as of 23:15, 22 April 2023

Most of our machines are in the E7, F7, G7 and H7 racks (as of Jan. 2022) in the MC 3015 server room. There is an additional rack in the DC 3558 machine room on the third floor. Our office terminals are in the CSC office, in MC 3036/3037.

Web Server

You are highly encouraged to avoid running anything that's not directly related to your CSC webspace on our web server. We have plenty of general-use machines; please use those instead. You can even edit web pages from any other machine--usually the only reason you'd *need* to be on caffeine is for database access.

caffeine

Caffeine is the Computer Science Club's web server. It serves websites, databases for websites, and a large amount of other services.

Specs

  • currently a virtual machine hosted on phosphoric-acid
    • 12 vCPUs
    • 32GB of RAM

Services

General-Use Servers

These machines can be used for (nearly) anything you like (though be polite and remember that these are shared machines). Recall that when you signed the Machine Usage Agreement, you promised not to use these machines to generate profit (so no cryptocurrency mining).

For computationally-intensive jobs (CPU/memory bound) we recommend running on high-fructose-corn-syrup, carbonated-water, sorbitol, mannitol, or corn-syrup, listed in roughly decreasing order of available resources. For low-intensity interactive jobs, such as IRC clients, we recommend running on neotame. If you have a long-running computationally intensive job, it's good to nice[1] your process, and possibly let syscom know too.

corn-syrup

PowerEdge 2950

Specs

  • 2 × Intel Xeon E5405 (2.00 GHz, 4 cores each)
  • 32 GB RAM
  • eth0 ("Gb0") mac addr 00:24:e8:52:41:27
  • eth1 ("Gb1") mac addr 00:24:e8:52:41:29
  • IPMI mac addr 00:24:e8:52:41:2b
  • 3 × Western-Digital 160GB SATA hard drive (445 GB software RAID0 array)

Notes

  • Use eth0/Gb0 for the mathstudentorgsnet connection
  • has ipmi on corn-syrup-ipmi.csclub.uwaterloo.ca.

Services

  • Hosts 1 TB /scratch and exports via NFS (sec=krb5)

high-fructose-corn-syrup

High-fructose-corn-syrup (or hfcs) is a large SuperMicro server. It's been in CSC service since April 2012.

Specs

  • 4x AMD Opteron 6272 (2.4 GHz, 16 cores each)
  • 192 GB RAM
  • Supermicro H8QGi+-F Motherboard Quad 1944-pin Socket (Manual)
  • 500 GB Seagate Barracuda
  • Supermicro Case Rackmount CSE-748TQ-R1400B 4U (Manual)

carbonated-water

carbonated-water is a Dell R815 provided by CSCF.

Specs

  • 4x AMD Opteron 6176 processors (2.3 GHz, 12 cores each)
  • 128GB RAM

neotame

neotame is a SuperMicro server funded by MEF. It is the successor to taurine.

We discourage running computationally-intensive jobs on neotame as many users run interactive applications such as IRC clients on it and any significant service degradation will be more likely to affect other users (who will probably notice right away).

Specs

  • 2x Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4 processors (2.2 GHz, 10 cores/20 threads each)
  • 64GB RAM
  • SSH server also listens on ports 21, 22, 53, 80, 81, 443, 8000, 8080 for your convenience.

sorbitol

sorbitol is a SuperMicro server funded by MEF.

Specs

  • 2x Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4 processors (2.2 GHz, 10 cores/20 threads each)
  • 64GB RAM

mannitol

mannitol is a SuperMicro server funded by MEF.

Specs

  • 2x Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4 processors (2.2 GHz, 10 cores/20 threads each)
  • 64GB RAM

Office Terminals

It's possible to SSH into these machines, but we discourage you from trying to use these machines when you're not sitting in front of them. They are bounced at least every time our login manager, lightdm, throws a tantrum (which is several times a day). These are for use inside our physical office.

natural-flavours

Natural-flavours is an office terminal; it used to be our mirror.

In Fall 2016, it received a major upgrade thanks the MathSoc's Capital Improvement Fund.

Specs

  • Intel Core i7-6700k
  • 2x8GB RAM
  • 1x 64GB SanDisk SDSSDP064G SSD
  • Cup Holder (DVD drive has power, but not connected to mother board)

powernap

powernap is a Mac Mini (Late 2014).

Spec

  • Intel i7-4578U (4) @ 3.500GHz
  • 16GB RAM
  • Intel Iris Graphics 5100
  • 256GB On-board SSD

Speaker

powernap has the office speakers (a pair of nice studio monitors) currently connected to it.

Services

  • MPD for playing music. Only office/termcom/syscom can log into powernap. Use `ncmpcpp` to control MPD.
  • Bluetooth audio receiver. Only syscom can control bluetooth pairing. Use `bluetoothctl` to contorl bluetooth.

Music is located in /music on the office terminals.

Progcom Only

The Programme Committee has access to a VM on corn-syrup called 'progcom'. They have sudo rights in this VM so they may install and run their own software inside it. This VM should only be accessible by members of progcom or syscom.

Syscom Only

The following systems may only be accessible to members of the Systems Committee for a variety of reasons; the most common of which being that some of these machines host Kerberos authentication services for the CSC.

xylitol

xylitol is a Dell PowerEdge R815 donated by CSCF. It is primarily a container host for services previously hosted on aspartame and dextrose, including munin, rt, mathnews, auth1, and dns1. It was provisioned with the intent to replace both of those hosts.

Specs

  • Dual AMD Opteron 6176 (2.3 GHz, 48 cores total)
  • 128GB RAM
  • 500GB volume group on RAID1 SSD (xylitol-mirrored)
  • 500ish-GB volume group on RAID10 HDD (xylitol-raidten)

auth1

Container on xylitol.

Services

chat

Container on xylitol.

Services

phosphoric-acid

phosphoric-acid is a Dell PowerEdge R815 donated by CSCF and is a clone of xylitol. It may be used to provide redundant cloud services in the future.

Specs

Services

coffee

Virtual machine running on phosphoric-acid.

Services

cobalamin

Dell PowerEdge 2950 donated to us by FEDS. Located in the Science machine room on the first floor of Physics. Will act as a backup server for many things.

Specs

Services

Notes

  • The network card requires non-free drivers. Be sure to use an installation disc with non-free.
  • We have separate IP ranges for cobalamin and its containers because the machine is located in a different building. They are:
    • VLAN ID 506 (csc-data1): 129.97.18.16/29; gateway 129.97.18.17; mask 255.255.255.240
    • VLAN ID 504 (csc-ipmi): 172.19.5.24/29; gateway 172.19.5.25; mask 255.255.255.248
  • For some reason, the keyboard is shit. Try to avoid having to use it. It's doable, but painful. IPMI works now, and then we don't need to bug about physical access so it's better anyway.

auth2

Container on cobalamin.

Services

Specs

  • It's a PS3.

2022-10-24 - Thermal paste replaced + firmware updated to latest supported version, also modded.

binaerpilot

This is a Gumstix Overo Tide CPU on a Tobi expansion board. It is currently attached to corn-syrup in the machine room and even more currently turned off until someone can figure out what is wrong with it.

Specs

  • TI OMAP 3530 750Mhz (ARM Cortex-A8)

  • 512MB RAM

digital cutter

See here.

mathnews

xylitol hosts a systemd-nspawn container which serves as the mathNEWS webserver. It is administered by mathNEWS, as a pilot for providing containers to select groups who have more specialized demands than the general-use infrastructure can meet.

Decommissioned

aspartame

aspartame was a taurine clone donated by CSCF. It was once our primary file server, serving as the gateway interface to space on phlogiston. It also used to host the auth1 container, which has been temporarily moved to dextrose. Decomissioned in March 2021 after refusing to boot following a power outage.

psilodump

psilodump is a NetApp FAS3000 series fileserver donated by CSCF. It, along with its sibling phlogiston, hosted disk shelves exported as iSCSI block devices.

psilodump was plugged into aspartame. It's still installed but inaccessible.

phlogiston

phlogiston is a NetApp FAS3000 series fileserver donated by CSCF. It, along with its sibling psilodump, hosted disk shelves exported as iSCSI block devices.

phlogiston is turned off and should remain that way. It is misconfigured to have its drives overlap with those owned by psilodump, and if it is turned on, it will likely cause irreparable data loss.

Specs

  • 2 AMD Opteron 2218 CPUs
  • 10GB RAM

Notes from before decommissioning

  • The lxc files are still present and should not be started up, or else the two copies of auth1 will collide.
  • It currently cannot route the 10.0.0.0/8 block to a misconfiguration on the NetApp. This should be fixed at some point.

Glomag hosted caffeine. Decommissioned April 6, 2018.

Specs

  • Intel Xeon X3450 @ 2.67 GHz
  • 6 GB RAM
  • vg0: 465 GB software RAID1 (contains root partition):
