Infolab QuickStart
Infrastructure
The InfolabComputeServersStats lists our big memory servers. These are first come first serve (nobody is managing the resources). If you are on a tight deadline or you feel that somebody is hogging the machine talk to them or talk to your local sysadmin.
You can access this machines by logging in via ssh with your CSID. Here's an example:
~$ ssh tommy@madmax5 tommy@madmax5's password: Last login: Sun Oct 4 10:54:11 2015 from whale.stanford.edu tommy@madmax5:~$
Using Windows? Use PuTTY or Cygwin.
