Remote Teams

Setup Instructions for remote teams:

General instructions

Please put a video on display of your overall setup and a view of your power monitor. You will be trusted that you will not be accessing your cluster remotely, but leave the cameras on if you can.

For the Aalborg team: Please follow these times as close as possible in your respective time zone. You will be receiving the information on the mystery app as well.

For KU, Clemson, and TTU: Expectation is that you will be on call and aligning your hours to the ones here on the West Coast, PDT. If this is an issue, let us know.

Application Announcements

For announcement of application specifications according to the calendar based on your local time zone. Please coordinate with Competition organizers.

Networking

The main network constraint is having one exit point to the internet. And that the internet is unable to initiate connections into any of your servers. A computer that is solely running DHCP (or some sort of networking that solely assigns ips) can be excluded from your power budget.

A central switch that has a DHCP for example, would count, but a router running DHCP connected to a central switch wouldn't.

Power

For power, since you are remote, we expect you to have a log (aka your video stream recording) of your power and during submissions include a full log of your cluster's power consumption throughout the competition.

Access

We're running on an honor code for remote teams to comply of not having access to their clusters after 5:00pm their time in fairness for the on-site teams.
