+==== Instructional Computing Support ====
+===Instructional Virtual Machine Support @ ICS===
+**Directions for general use:  [[virtual_environments:ivhe_general|Instructional Virtual Machines]]**
+ICS Computing Support runs a cluster of machines capable of providing personal virtual machines for ICS stduents.
+Students with acces to this cluster will be able:
+  * Start a VM using a single command from any host in the openlab Linux cluster.
+  * Local root privilege on their VM.
+  * Reconnect on either console or via ssh.
+  * Many other benefits
+If you would like to find out how this  service can be good fit for your course, undergraduate or graduate, send a message to helpdesk@ics.uci.edu and we will reach out.
+More information is available on our Support Wiki: [[virtual_environments:virtual_environments|Virtual Environments]]
+=== Unlimited Instructional Storage ===
+Undergraduate and Graduate students have access to unquotad storage space.   Please use the appropriate link:
+  * [[hardware:storage:ugrad_space|Unlimited Undergraduate Student Storage]]
+  * [[hardware:storage:grad_space|Unlimited Graduate Student Storage]]
+=== Instructional Compute Clusters ===
+The schools provides over 80 distinct computer nodes for instructional and general use.  These nodes are generally accessible under the name //openlab.ics.uci.edu//.
+  * [[accounts:connecting_to_openlab|Connecting to Openlab]]
+  * [[hardware:cluster:openlab|Openlab Specifications]]
+  * [[hardware:cluster:opengpu|Openlab GPU Hosts Specifications]]
+=== Job Scheduling ===
+ICS Computing runs [[https://arc.liv.ac.uk/trac/SGE|Sun Grid Engine (SGE)]] to perform job scheduling and distribution to the myriad of instructional and research compute clusters.

+====OpenGPU Cluster====
+We are adding new hardware to the [[hardware:cluster:opengpu|OpenGPU]]
+ lab.
+This summer we add one 4 GPU system:
+^Description ^Information |
+|Cluster|OpenGPU|
+|Count |1 |
+|Model |Supermicro SYS-7049GP-TRT|
+|Processor |Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4114 CPU @ 2.20GHz|
+|GPU|NVIDIA Corporation GP102 [TITAN Xp]|
+|RAM |128 GB |
+|HDD | SSD 480GB|
+|RAID |none |
+|Redundant Power |Yes |
+Send questions regarding the OpenGPU lab to helpdesk@ics.uci.edu.   Feel free to use these system, the more our openlab and opengpu clusters are used, the more equipment we can install.
