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. |

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. '''<u>If you have a long-running computationally intensive job, it's good to nice[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nice_(Unix)] your process, and possibly let syscom know too.</u>''' |

==''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. |

Revision as of 11:58, 26 March 2024
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
- LXC virtual machine hosted on phosphoric-acid
- 12 vCPUs
- 32GB of RAM
Services
- Club and member web sites with Apache
- MySQL databases
- PostgreSQL databases
- ceo daemon
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.

- 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.

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

Services
- Containers: auth2 (kerberos)
Notes
- TODO: Mega unreliable. (Goes down once every few weeks...)
- 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.
- We don't have "physical" access to the PHYS server rooms.
