Computational Resources
REL is the internal compute cluster of LIACS. All students have access by default (to the student machines).
All instructions and an overview of available resources can be found through: https://rel.liacs.nl/compute
You can connect to REL through SSH: https://rel.liacs.nl/general/ssh-access
If all student machines are taken, ask us if we can get you temporary access to a staff machine.
Memory management
/home has a quotum, so you need to put your bigger packages (e.g., through conda) under /data
Watch out: conda may actually still put downloaded packages in cache in your /home folder, causing a "Disk Quota Exceeded Error". The ways to check this, and solutions to this problem, are listed under https://rel.liacs.nl/compute
You can also ssh into the machines in the LIACS compute labs (DM.0.09, DM.0.13, DM.0.17, DM.0.21)
Full instructions are available from: https://rel.liacs.nl/LLW
ALICE is the university-wide compute cluster. You can only access this with permission of a teacher, which we do provide for this course.
You can find general information about ALICE here.
Sign-up information can be found here. Please put the teacher email address in the CC of your email to request access to ALICE, so we can confirm your request.
In you end up in a very computationally demanding project, and the above options do not suffice, LIACS does incidentally give access to SURF (the national supercomputer). There has to be a clear motivation.
