== ''ascorbic-acid'' ==
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'' ==
Ascorbic-acid is Sun Netra T1. Needs 'rootdelay=15' kernel argument to boot.

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

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.

Latest revision as of 22:13, 6 August 2026

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

  • QEMU virtual machine hosted on Teriyaki
    • 32 vCPUs
    • 64GB of RAM

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.

Note: firewall applies to these servers

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.

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

Spec

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

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.
    • TODO: this is not the case anymore
  • Bluetooth audio receiver. Only syscom can control bluetooth pairing. Use `bluetoothctl` to control 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.

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

Codey Bot Only

codey-prod: QEMU virtual machine hosted on Teriyaki

codey-staging, codey-dev: Used to ran on Cloudstack, currently not deployed on Proxmox due to a lack of Codey Bot devs.

Syscom Only

The following systems are 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)

Services

auth1

Container on xylitol.

Services

chat

Container on xylitol.

Services

mail

mail is the CSC's mail server. It hosts mail delivery, imap(s), smtp(s), and mailman. It is also syscom-only. It is a Linux container at present.

TODO: "HA"-ish configuration

Specs

Services

munin

munin is a syscom-only monitoring and accounting machine. It is a Linux container at present.

Specs

Services

  • munin systems monitoring daemon

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

  • (clone of Xylitol)

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, on Science Computing Rack 2. NICs are plugged into A1 and A2 on the adjacent rack. Acts as a backup server for many things.

TODO: should replace with another Syscom server when Science Computing clears out the rack (ETA before 09/2024)

Specs

Services

  • Containers: auth2 (kerberos)

Notes

  • TODO: Mega unreliable. (Goes down once every few weeks... due to power outages in the PHYS server room)
    • It is plugged into a UPS but the UPS has dead batteries.
  • 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
  • Physical access to the PHYS server rooms can be acquired by visiting Science Computing in PHYS 2006.
