It is a Sun Fire E2900 from a decommissioned MFCF compute cluster, on loan for an extended period. It has a SPARC architecture and runs OpenBSD, unlike many of our other systems which are x86/x86-64 and Linux/Debian.

It is available for general use. Due to an "interesting" SSH server configuration, Kerberos authentication is '''required''' to access this machine. This means that from a CSC machine, run 'kinit -p' to obtain credentials before SSH'ing in. From a non-CSC machine, follow the instructions on [[Kerberos#Running_Kerberos_Locally|running Kerberos locally]].

The name is from saltpetre, because sparks.

Latest revision as of 18:10, 13 November 2025

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.

(Redundant active backup coming soon...)

Specs

Services

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.

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

Dell 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

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)

Notes

  • Missing moba IO shield (as of January 2024)

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 strongly 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

Notes

  • 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. CUDA is available on this node.

Specs

  • 2x Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4 processors (2.2 GHz, 10 cores/20 threads each)
  • 64GB RAM
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6G

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.

cyanide

cyanide is a Mac Mini (Late 2014), identical in specification to powernap

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.

The CI/CD stuff for the csclub.uwaterloo.ca runs on this vm (drone).

Codey Bot Only
