We try to maintain the cluster in a way that allows students and TA's to comfortably and efficiently work on class material. With our ample remaining resources we strive to provide an open atmosphere for creative exploration and development of computing science.
Additional restrictions are implicit in the funding for our equipment and services.
The UGCS lab is for Caltech students, faculty and staff only, and it may not be used for commercial pursuits or profit ventures. People wishing to use the lab for sponsored research projects must obtain permission. We will not allow illegal activities. The rest of our guidelines have been developed only to ensure that the lab will be available and functional for all its users. Bearing this in mind, if you feel that an exception should be made, contact your friendly system administrators and we'll see what we can do.
