This is a GPU server of the Department of Computer Engineering, University of Peradeniya.
You can use this server using the LDAP login for ce.pdn.ac.lk undergraduates (which is used for CO top floor lab, Aiken and Tesla) without sudo access.
How can I connect to this server?
You can use SSH login. Since turing.ce.pdn.ac.lk is not a public IP you shoud either (a) use a computer in the Peradeniya network or (b) SSH to a public IP server like tesla.ce.pdn.ac.lk or aiken.ce.pdn.ac.lk and SSH to turing.ce.pdn.ac.lk from there.
What are the GPUs in this server?
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti
What is the operating system of this server?
Ubuntu 22.04
What software is installed in this server?
What datasets are hosted in Turing?
We store frequently used datasets inside the turing.ce.pdn.ac.lk local storage for easy access. You can access these by the following commands
ls /storage/datasets/
These datasets are in the read only mode. You can use these datsets as the input for your tasks but you have to output the results to your home directory. The following datasets are stored at the moment.
If you have suggestions for what datasets should be made available on this server, please send a request via email available in https://www.cs.umd.edu/~gihan/contact/ address.
I want a different version of NVCC?
Use https://anaconda.org/anaconda/cudatoolkit
Can I install some software here?
Please request through any CO staff member. Please note that the server admin has no authority to install something unless it is requested by a staff memeber.
I am not an undergraduate of the Department of Computer Engineering, University of Peradeniya. Can I use this server?
Ask headce[at]eng.pdn.ac.lk.
