Introducing a new Linux shell server gemini.science.uu.nl
After a long time of service the shell servers students.science.uu.nl and staff.science.uu.nl will be replaced by a new server: gemini.science.uu.nl. Starting on June 19, 2017 the new server "Gemini" will be available to all users of the old servers "students" and "staff". The old servers are scheduled to be shutdown on October 1st, 2017.
System specifications
| CPU: | 2 x 16 cores (64 threads) Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2683 v4 @ 2.10GHz |
| Memory: | 256 GB |
| OS: | Scientific Linux V7.3 |
Testing software
New versions of libraries, applications and operating system may introduce some unexpected errors. Therefore you are kindly asked to test any software you use on this server. You may have to recompile your software.
Use of software environment modules
With the new server we also introduce the use of software environment modules, which some of you are already used to, when running jobs on the HPC's.
These modules when loaded can adjust your shell-environment to specific settings. Most of them will add path settings and environment variables specific for an application. If you no longer need a specific module anymore, you can remove it and it will undo the corresponding environment modifications.
At this moment 9 modules are available to select from, but this number will grow in the future.
