Hello Fellow IDMI'ers,

Over the break the lab was cleaned, and reorganized. The computers are all in nice cozy setups, and allow every port to be reached without moving the computer, huzzah! What I hope to accomplish with moving the computers around is a nice clean work environment where no one has to move a computer out from under a desk to connect a peripheral. I would also like to ask that no one remove any cables (ethernet especially) from the computers, this keeps the computers running smoothly, and keeps me happy.

I have setup a render system in the IDMI lab. It's not working 100% at the moment, but I have had some success with rendering things on it thus far. At the moment, I can use one processor from each computer in the lab to render a file, approximately 25-30Ghz of computing power is available.

I am looking for people who have large render jobs that would like to test the system out. If you're interested, please e-mail me or stop by the lab when I'm around (usually M-W 10-6pm).

Hello all IDMI students and Staff!
