ohaton.cs.ualberta.ca

  • Specs: Intel Xeon X5687 with 128GB RAM, running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
  • General Undergrad Use: Remote login, general login, X (xdm) and VNC server for the Department. Ohaton is the undergraduate gateway to the rest of the department and as such is not meant for long-running jobs or high-cpu load.
    • If your task takes over a minute to run or pegs 100% of the CPU it is not interactive.
    • If there is the remotest chance that your class work could crash a machine (for example, if you are learning process control, cracking passwords, or exploring game trees... Do not use ohaton
    • If you use a remote IDE like vstudio, you are responsible for knowing what you are connecting to and what resources you are using.
    • Misbehaving processes on ohaton may be halted without notice to preserve connectivity for all users.
If you require dedicated resources you can access the appropriate Undergraduate Lab machines directly.
