historic machines

For running old simulations we keep some old systems. They can be activated instead of the current simulation nodes.

sim36 cl1 \~8 cores, \~8 GB RAMFedora 36 (2023), gcc 12.2.1 \~ on demand
sim34 cl1 \~8 cores, \~8 GB RAMFedora 34 (2022), gcc 11.3.1 \~ on demand
sim32 cl1 \~8 cores, \~4 GB RAMFedora 32 (2021) \~ on demand
sim30 cl1 \~8 cores, \~4 GB RAMFedora 30 (2020), gcc 9.3.1 \~ on demand
sim29 cl1 \~6 cores, \~4 GB RAMFedora 29 (2019) \~ on demand
sim27 cl1 \~6 cores, \~4 GB RAMFedora 27 (2018) \~ on demand

sim1204 cl1 \~4 cores, \~4 GB RAMUbuntu 12.04 (2014) \~ on demand

If you have demand for some special configurations, more cores more memory on one of the simulation nodes, or you want to try some historic machines just ask the IT to reconfigure the systems

RRZE resources

The RRZE managed machines in Erlangen have a central HOME storage (W:\). Every staff member has 10 GB (students 2GB) of storage there.

Include in Linux

This storage can be used from our Institute-PCs by mounting it in the file-manager.

  1. Goto + Other Locations
  2. In the bottom line “Connect to Server” enter 
    smb://home.rrze.uni-erlangen.de/<IdM-Kennung>
  3. When asked for User and password enter 
    User: <IdM-Kennung>@FAUAD.FAU.DE
Domain: <just-something>
Password: <IdM-Password>

Include into WW8Cloud

You can add the HOME storage as external storage to our WW8Cloud by linking it as external storage. By doing this you can access it even from outside the FAU-Network.

Step 1: Right top corner.

Step 2: Menu on the left.

Step 3: Menu on the left.
