Everyone is strongly encouraged to participate and should show up to NSH 4513 at noon, and bring their own meal to start with lunch. One of those purposes is the NeurIPS practice session. We have NSH 4513 booked from 12-1pm. In that room, we will be having practice talks take turns during/after lunch up until 1pm, or whenever a next group kicks us out :) Additionally, we could not find an open space to allow poster practice talks, so our plan is to set up in the 3rd floor hallway of NSH (where many Auton offices are located). Since this space isn?t officially booked, we can run these practice poster talks as long as need be. We?ll see you at noon today in NSH 4513! - Nick From pnspence at andrew.cmu.edu Thu Dec 5 13:57:48 2019 From: pnspence at andrew.cmu.edu (Patricia N Spencer) Date: Thu, 5 Dec 2019 18:57:48 +0000 Subject: CMU Stacked & Auton Lab Logo Message-ID: <13ed02c711f94650805f5c6b0fab8ea0@andrew.cmu.edu> Hello, Attached are the logos for your posters and future need.

One of them deimos.autonlab.org is having trouble with a single 10 Gigabit interface. The machine is Supermicro Intel Xeon D-1541 network server which is our main VPN gateway. Without that server bash no longer can serve as a shell gateway and all Auton Lab desktops will be super slow as they will wait for primary DNS to time out. These servers have notoriously buggy firmware as previously noted by others https://tinkertry.com/how-to-work-around-intermittent-intel-x557-network-outages-on-12-core-xeon-d and reported by yours truly https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=155789695701876&w=2 A typical remedy is to try to cold rebooted server. I have done that using IPMI (yes I can power off and power on few selected servers from my home) but the temperature is still too high. I will let server cool off over night and try to fire it up in the morning. During the night please use lop2.autonlab.org or lop1.autonlab.org if you have legacy account as gateways. In the case that network interface doesn't come in the morning I will have to plug the main network cable in one of reserved 1Gigabit interfaces as it is currently done with phobos.autonlab.org which had this problem ever since it was acquired. For that I will have to be in the machine room. I apologize for the inconvenience while people are getting ready for Vancuver.

For most of you this BSD jail host is important as one of its jails is our Gogs (git server) instance. The other services provided by this host don't affect many people. I will not know what is wrong with it until I get into the machine room tomorrow. The server uses ZFS mirrors and hardware is less than 2 years old so I hope it is a minor issue.
