The CIP pool consists of workstations in the pool rooms CIP1 and CIP2, in the CIP rooms in the container building, in the mini pool room next to the main entrance and in the foyer. All workstations run Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
All hosts are in the .cip.ph.tum.de domain. I.e. the fully qualified domain name for cip1sandy1 is cip1sandy1.cip.ph.tum.de. Since the hosts use the TUM ADS system for authentication, their "official" names are prepended by "tuphcom-".
Only cipgate.cip.ph.tum.de is accessible from outside the MWN via SSH on port 222.
The workstation configuration is listed below.

Most computers in CIP2 have CUDA-enabled GPU cards and the corresponding SDKs.
User profiles are shared between all hosts. Every host has the same set of applications.
/scratch
The amount of space you can use in your home directory is limited to 3 GB per user (although this can be increased if you can convince us that you do not want to use the space to backup your mp3 collection). If you need more space for temporary storage (e.g. simulation data) please use the local /scratch directory. You may use as much space as you like. However please keep in mind that files in /scratch are stored on the local workstation, are never backuped and can be lost at any time.
If you want to access another host's scratch, sshfs is very useful:
user@host:/scratch$ mkdir cip1sandy1 user@host:/scratch$ sshfs cip1sandy1:/scratch cip1sandy1 user@cip1sandy1's password: user@host:/scratch$ ls cip1sandy1/ FILES IN THIS DIRECTORY ARE NOT BACKUPED AND CAN BE DELETED AT ANY TIME ga25sux lost+found
you can mount any ssh/scp-accessible directory this way. Please note that the mount point should be on a local drive (i.e. scratch), mounting stuff into an NFS-directory (e.g. your home directory) means asking for trouble.
