The University supports the use of the Zoom video-conferencing service "for informal, non-confidential meetings, collaboration with external colleagues, and, where required, for facilitating University research".
For more details, and to find out how to download and use the correct version of Zoom, see the University's Zoom help pages. If you still have questions about Zoom, ask the University's IT Helpdesk. And finally, our Online Meetings page has advice on other solutions.
What should you use for online meetings? The University supports and recommends these, in order of preference:
The Research cluster is used to support postgraduate research students and research staff.
The research cluster has 123 GPUs: 95x NVIDIA RT2080Ti 11GB in 12 servers (damnii01-12) and 28x A40 48GB in 7 nodes (crannog01-07).
PGR Students on the appropriate programmes should get access automatically. if you can't access the nodes please submit an RT ticket.
The ILCC cluster is for members of ILCC and for CDT in NLP students.
It's easy to use a cluster the wrong way, so here are some tips on how to do it right.
