EEC High Performance Computing

Update on the HPC issue:

Temperature in main HPC room stabilised, I brought login nodes and main server and file servers up. Until further update from Estates about the cooling system stability in the room, most of the compute nodes in that room will be offline (that includes new Broadwell nodes)

I brought some Nehalem (half of 8-CPU nodes) and Sandybridge (12-CPU “GPU” queue) compute nodes up in unaffected by cooling failure room (zeus[100-171], zeus[200-217]), they can be used as file servers now are operational.

Important Information for Existing MATLAB and Simulink Users

Faculty of Environment, Engineering and Computing at Coventry University now offers a campus-wide license to MATLAB, Simulink, and companion toolboxes (MATLAB TAH Site License). The license covers on-campus and home software use for all instructors, staff, and researchers, as well as classroom and lab installations. Students are also covered by the campus-wide license and can install software on their home or laptop computers.

Commercial use of MathWorks products is not covered by our TAH license, so if you are using a commercial license, please continue to do so.

You may contact Alex Pedcenko (aa3025@coventry.ac.uk) with questions or issues.

Once you have associated to the TAH license, you may access MATLAB Onramp, a free interactive tutorial through MATLAB Academy to help you get started.

MathWorks offers a comprehensive collection of resources for integrating MATLAB and Simulink into your courses and research.  Go to the TAH Resource Kit for video tutorials, classroom materials, webinars, and more.

To use TAH license for Matlab follow these steps:

1. Create online Mathworks account http://mathworks.com/account   (important: use Cov Uni e-mail address, you are not required to enter your real name when registering, it is your own choice)
2. There will be confirmation e-mail sent to your Uni e-mail for your Mathworks account activation.
3. To associate your Mathworks account with Uni TAH license, you will need to enter activation key. You can get the key here
   1. Staff                       W:/EC/STAFF/Mathworks/
   2. Students:               W:/EC/STUDENT/Matlab/
4. Once your account is associated with Cov Uni TAH license, you can download and install Matlab on your Computer (Windows, Mac or Linux) or use Online version of Matlab from any Internet browser on any computer (without installation) at http://matlab.mathworks.com
5. If you are installing Matlab on your own computer, by the end of installation, in Activation step, enter your Online Mathworks account credentials, and your installation will be linked to our TAH site license. You will not be required to use VPN from outside the campus to use Matlab.
