Cluster Etiquette

To help to keep the cluster clean, please throw away/recycle all trash at your workstation. There are wipes located in the central hallway for cleaning your screen.

The computer cluster is meant for interactive use only. If you have a long/CPU-intensive computing job or process please use the CRC facilities.

Screenlock is disabled on Windows XP machines but is enabled on Linux Machines. If you need to leave the cluster for a short time you may lock the screen. After ten minutes have passed, however, anyone has the right to log you out using CTRL+ALT+Backspace (the command to restart X) if there are no others available for use.

No food or drink is allowed in the cluster.

Be mindful of your belongings. Items left unguarded are likely to be stolen in a high-traffic area like the cluster.
