[auton-users] New computing node

[predragp at andrew.cmu.edu]

Dear Autonians,

One of two recently purchased computing nodes is ready for your
testing. Machine name is lov3 (l as in Lab, o as in Opteron in this
case 64 cores and v as in 256 GB of RAM according to our internal
documentation). You can ssh into lov3 via our SSH gateways lop1 and
lop2 with your regular Auton Lab credentials. You home directories
are mounted. Local HDD is very small and used only for administrative
purpose. Lov3 doesn't run X server but you can use X-clients via
ssh -y option.

For the complete list of currently installed computational software
with version numbers please refer to

http://predrag.freeshell.org/software_installation.xls

Few small remarks. Default system GCC on RedHat is 4.4 but I installed
4.7. Default system Python is 2.6 but you should be using installed 2.7.3
To call such Python please use python27 command or if you use ipython shell
ipython27. When I say Python is installed that means all standard
modules as well numpy, scipy, matplotlib etc (the most recent versions).
When I say Perl is installed means that I installed most common Perl
modules as well. To use matlab type in the shell

matlab -nodesktop

Please, please test and report problems. If the problems are not
reported they are not likely to be fixed. I am still in the process
of configuring monitoring systems.

Finally I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Dubrawki
and Dr. Schneider as well as their Co-PIs whose grant money was used to
purchase these two wonderful machines.

Sincerely,
Predrag Punosevac
