Turing

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.

Specifications
  • Intel Core i9-13900K CPU
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti GPU
  • 32 GB (2x16 GB) DDR5-6000 Memory
  • 4 TB (2x2 TB) M.2 SSD

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.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti

  • Ubuntu 22.04
  • NVIDIA-Driver Version: 530.41.03
  • CUDA Version: 12.1 (You can update this using conda)

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.

  • THIS LIST WILL BE POPULATED SOON

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.

    eyyxxx@turing:~$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cepdnaclk/singularity-deployment/main/base.def
  3. Build the container:
    eyyxxx@turing:~$ singularity build --fakeroot base.sif base.def
  4. Run commands using the container:
    eyyxxx@turing:~$ singularity exec base.sif <your-command>
