TUM Physics Department CIP Pool
(CIP Pool des Physikdepartments der Technischen Universität München)

The CIP Pool consists of 21 workstations in room 1162 (located in the Physik Department's basement), 37 workstations in the new container building and 4 workstations in the foyer. All workstations run Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

The T30 Documentation might also provide useful information, because T30 uses nearly the same software configuration as the CIP pool.

News

2.11.2011We now have two new CanoScan LiDE110? , they are connected to athlon4 (old CIP pool, left hand side) and cont1sandy4 (container, 1st door on the left, left hand side).
14.10.2011 There are three new CIP rooms in the container building behind the Physics Department. Rooms 1 and 2 each have 8 fast Sandy Bridge PCs with 16 GB of memory, 8 All-in-One Lenovo Think Centres and a printer. Room 3 has 5 Sandy Bridge PCs as well as tables and chairs for discussions. We will also install a smart board in this room. The new machines are called contXsandyY and contXthinkY (but you probably only want to use the former ones for remote login).
06.07.2011 We have updated MATLAB and the MATLAB Distributed Computing Server to Version 2011a. Please Update your Parallel Configuration according to Instructions if you have used the parallel interface before.
14.04.2011We have acquired licenses for the MATLAB Curve Fitting Toolbox. Please check the MATLAB page for available MATLAB and MATLAB Toolbox licenses.
06.04.2011A MATLAB license monitor has been added.
03.04.2011The /scratch folder of another workstation is now accessible via /net/HOSTNAME/scratch. See the workstations page for details.
25.03.2011We have acquired licenses for the MATLAB Image Processing Toolbox and the Signal Processing Toolbox. Please check the MATLAB page for available MATLAB and MATLAB Toolbox licenses.
02.02.2011The C++ library collection Boost 1.45.0 has been installed.
21.12.2010Six new workstations (Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD, ATI Radeon HD 4350) have been installed in the CIP pool. Merry Christmas!
16.12.2010MATLAB Parallel Computing Toolbox and Mathematica Lightweight Grid have been installed for quick and easy multicore and multinode parallel computing.
05.06.2010The CIP pool has been upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04. If you experience any problems or miss software, please post a trouble report in the CIP Pool support thread. The contents of the /scratch folders have been moved to /scratch/old on foyer4.

Status

There are currently no problems known.
