CSTR Computer Support

The CSTR computer network is part of the Informatics DICE network. General Documentation and FAQs concerning DICE can be found here. New users should take the time to read this information.

Specific CSTR information

Desktop Computers

Desktop machines are generally single processors. You can run whatever you like (subject to the University's Computing Regulations, of course) on the machine that you sit at but please do not run processor intensive screen savers or other energy-wasting processes.

Compute cluster

The Edinburgh Compute and Data Facility (ECDF) runs the 'eddie' cluster and a storage area network (SAN). This provides the majority of CSTR's compute needs.

CSTR purchases substantial additional guaranteed capacity. If you want an account, you must request one via the ECDF webpage, first asking your supervisor/PI which project code you should use.

Compute Servers

CSTR has a number of dedicated compute servers on the DICE network. Only members of CSTR can shh to these machines.

Printing Posters

The simplest way to print an A0 poster is to use the self-service printers in the main library in George Square.
