Help

This page contains information about the CDS cluster and other shared CDS computing resources. In addition to the CDS infrastructure, we also make use of services provided by the CMS department and local computing by individual research groups. We also have access to campus computing resources provided by CACR and IMSS.

If you have questions about any CDS computing resources, send e-mail to help@cds.caltech.edu.

CDS wiki

CDS runs a MediaWiki installation that can be used for hosting course homepages, project documentation and other information. Note that all information the CDS wiki is publicly accessible, though editing access requires an IMSS account.

CDS online services (e-mail, web, subversion)

CDS maintains a set of servers that provide e-mail, web and subversion services. These servers are run by IMSS and provide the following functions:

• Web pages - Apache web server, with ability to install custom software (mediawiki, wordpress, drupal, etc)
• E-mail - IMAP and SMTP for cds.caltech.edu e-mail addresses
• Subversion - web-based access to user-level subversion repositories, including directory-based access control

More information on these services is provided through the links above; requests for help should be sent to help@cds.caltech.edu.

CMS computing

Many CDS students make use of workstations and other services supported by the Department of Computing and Mathematical Science (CMS). These services are managed separately from the services above. For help with your (CMS) workstation or CMS computing, send e-mail to help@cms.caltech.edu.
