I'm looking for a roomate for NIPS next month. I'll be staying the whole week. Let me know if you are interested.

This is the official announcement. Both machine have identical specifications. 2xXeon E5-4627 2.4 GHz (6 Core+Hyperthreading)=24CPU in total 128 GB of RAM 1xTesla K80 with 4992 cuda processors running Springdale 7.1 (Princeton clone of RedHat) and whole slue of scientific software. gpu1.int.autonlab.org was purchased from Dr. Barnabas Poczos grants while gpu2.int.autonlab.org was purchased jointly by Dr. Artur Dubrawski and Dr. Martial Hebert. Dr. Poczos have kindly granted access to all members of the lab (members of Neill group included) to his GPU computing node for at least 4 weeks. I have created a scratch directories for all of you on /home/scratch/your_username Total size of scratch directory is 2 TB. I have not had a chance to check with Dr. Dubrawski today if there are any restrictions on the use of gpu2.int.autonlab.org so for now I have mounted /zfsauton/home shares to gpu2.int.autonlab.org which means that you have the access to gpu2 if you are the member of Dr. Dubrawski team. His server also has 2TB of scratch space gpu[1-2}.int.autonlab.org accessible like any other computing node in the lab. I have configured CUDA drivers and I have done some light testing as this print outs show ptxas info : 'device-function-maxrregcount' is a BETA feature (target: sm_52) mkdir -p ../../bin/x86_64/linux/release cp simpleDevLibCUBLAS ../../bin/x86_64/linux/release make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/cuda-7.5/samples/7_CUDALibraries/simpleDevLibCUBLAS' Finished building CUDA samples >> gpuDevice ans = CUDADevice with properties: Name: 'Tesla K80' Index: 1 ComputeCapability: '3.7' SupportsDouble: 1 DriverVersion: 7.5000 ToolkitVersion: 7 MaxThreadsPerBlock: 1024 MaxShmemPerBlock: 49152 MaxThreadBlockSize: [1024 1024 64] MaxGridSize: [2.1475e+09 65535 65535] SIMDWidth: 32 TotalMemory: 1.2079e+10 AvailableMemory: 1.1939e+10 MultiprocessorCount: 13 ClockRateKHz: 823500 ComputeMode: 'Default' GPUOverlapsTransfers: 1 KernelExecutionTimeout: 0 CanMapHostMemory: 1 DeviceSupported: 1 DeviceSelected: 1 I have also played little bit with PyCUDA. R is also capable of utilizing GPU modules but I have not played with it. Finally both servers have additional 10TB storage space. Permission for use of that space will have to be granted by Dr. Poszos and Dr. Dubrawski personally. Finally these machines are specifically purchased for GPU computing. Any jobs which don't involve GPUs will be indiscriminately terminated by me.

Akshay and I have booked this airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/2871869 and are looking for 1 or 2 more people to join us. Its literally a couple of minutes away from the conference venue and would be under USD 250 for 7 days. thanks, samy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

After trying unsucessfully to repair the server and to replace it with the virtual instance I decided to rebuild seldomly used shell gateway lop2.autonlab.org (port 2222) as a shell.autonlab.org. This gateway is designed to provide Auton Lab LDAP account holders with the complete access to the Lab's computing infrastructure including DMZ zone. It is not intended to be used as X2Go proxy. Moreover even your home directories are not mounted on this particular gateway so that it continues to be available in the case of main file servers failures. That means that this machine is ill suitable for file transfer and that the ssh keys transfered to this machine will not be available anywhere else. Folks who had to jump through the hoops to access DMZ will appreciate. Be worned that if you have used shell.autonlab.org in the past you have to remove the line containing shell.autonlab.org from the file .ssh/known_hosts RSA key fingerprint of the "new" machine is 56:12:5c:fb:39:9f:1e:62:4d:66:e4:57:28:a1:46:91 Best, Predrag P.S. Based on usage pattern my feelling is that 3 shell gateways are sufficient for forseable future.
