I am planning to gracefully shut down all our servers Tuesday March 7 around 9:00 PM. Please plan on not being able to use servers for 48h (worse case scenario).

The power outage in the Wean Hall machine room has been scheduled for Wednesday March 8th. New equipment is coming in the door this week and there is a pressing need to get it into production as quickly as possible. We can't deploy new GPU servers until this work is completed. We expect all systems/clusters to be back online and functional before the end of the day on March 8th... this should be a relatively short interruption in service. Thank you once again for your patience and your feedback. -Ed -- Ed Walter Technical Manager - Unix Engineering SCS Computing Facilities Carnegie Mellon University On 02/09/2017 10:04 AM, Edward Walter wrote: > Hello, > > SCS Computing Facilities is working with CMU FMS to schedule the final > round of work for our Wean Hall machine room - power expansion project. > This will involve provisioning approximately 11x high capacity circuits > to accommodate the influx of GPU servers and cluster expansions that is > expected to continue through 2017. > > We're planning to schedule this work for the end of February or the > beginning of March.

All our servers appear to be up and running (lou1 has a dead memory module). I am restoring services according to their priority. Remote shell access to the lab infrastructure is also restored.

We develop algorithms that consider distributions as functional covariates/responses, and methods that use distributions as internal representations. We consider distributions since they are a straightforward characterization of many natural phenomena and provide a richer description than simple point data by detailing information at an aggregate level. Our approach may be seen as addressing two sides of the same coin: on one side, we use traditional machine learning algorithms adjusted to directly operate on inputs and outputs that are probability functions (and sample sets); on the other side, we develop better estimators for traditional vector data by making use of, and adjusting internal distributions. We begin by developing algorithms for traditional machine learning tasks for the cases when one's input (and/or possibly output) is not a finite point, but is instead a distribution, or sample set drawn from a distribution. We develop a scalable nonparametric estimator for regressing a real valued response given an input that is a distribution, a case which we coin distribution to real regression (DRR). Furthermore, we extend this work to the case when both the output response and the input covariate are distributions; a task we call distribution to distribution regression (DDR). Moreover, we propose flexible and scalable techniques for conditional density estimation where one regresses an output response that is a distribution given a real valued covariate. After, we look to expand the versatility and efficacy of traditional machine learning tasks through novel methods that operate with implicit or latent distributions. Take for example kernel methods that use a shift-invariant kernel. Here, one's kernel uniquely determines a distribution, the spectral density, that controls the frequencies considered over inputs. We show that one may improve the performance of kernel learning tasks by learning this spectral distribution in a data-driven fashion using Bayesian nonparametric techniques. Furthermore, we recast classification as a task on distributions. Namely, the Bayes classification risk is minimized when the distributions of features of instances from each particular class are non-overlapping. Hence, we propose a distribution based task with ties to a Bayes risk to perform supervised feature learning. Leveraging the high-level, aggregate information provided by distributions in these algorithms allows us to improve performance in a broad range of domains including: cosmology, neuroscience, computer vision, and natural language processing. Furthermore, the scalable nature of our algorithms are such that we may scale to millions, even billions of instances.
