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)

Configuration

Mounting network folders

The folder "database" on BlackHole is mounted automatically to /media/blackhole. See /etc/fstab for details.
