New GPU servers for Students with Quadro RTX 6000

We are glad to introduce the Quadro RTX 6000 series to the School’s Compute Resources, along with 3 new servers for our Students (Undergrads & MSc).

Servers

The hostnames of the new servers are:

• luna (luna.student.eecs.qmul.ac.uk)
• phobos (phobos.student.eecs.qmul.ac.uk)
• deimos (deimos.student.eecs.qmul.ac.uk)

SSH access to these servers is the same as usual, direct access from any EECS Desktop and via the student login server from outside the University.

GPU cards
