Cortex is a server used by VisLab for running simulations (not the ones with the iCub robot, which uses other machines).
Old information can be consulted at Cortex/Archive.
Specifications
Since summer 2012, there is one machine (cortex1) with these specs:
- 8 x i7-3770K @ 3.50GHz processor
- 16GB of memory (
sudo dmidecode --type 17
to see RAM speed and type) - 112GB SSD drive
- NVidia GeForce GTX 670 graphics card (CUDA)
Additional software
On this cluster, each user should manage his own yarp and iCub repositories. As a result, do not use system-wide installation of those (): instead, simply use sudo make install
make
and set your environment variables.
NVIDIA CUDA and Caffe (Deep Neural Network suite for Matlab)
On 12 September 2014 the CUDA Toolbox V6.0 was installed, along with the V331.62 NVIDIA driver. Everything seems to be working fine.
Caffe was built in a directory under Jacinto's home, its tests reporting:
[==========] 718 tests from 154 test cases ran. (107744 ms total) [ PASSED ] 718 tests. YOU HAVE 2 DISABLED TESTS
The disabled tests are possibly due to not having the required kind of hardware for them.
Customization
Mounting network folders
The folder "database" on BlackHole is mounted automatically to /media/blackhole. See /etc/fstab for details.
