The UIS solicits software requirements for the Managed Cluster System machines installed in the Intel Lab every year. If you are a course organizer, you can use this page to document your requirements here, and then point Graham Titmus every year at them after you have updated them. Please create for each of your undergraduate course where you expect students to use MCS Linux a heading, and include in the heading the term for which you last reviewed these requirements, and the crsid of the person who last reviewed these requirements.

UK/Ireland Programming Competition

October 2019, mgk25:

Each October, we use the Intel Lab machines to host one site of the UK/Ireland Programming Competition, which is a regional competition to help UK and Irish universities select student teams to participate in the later North-West European Regional Contest, the winners of which then go to the International Collegiate Programming Contest world finals.

The MCS Linux machines should offer pre-installed

There should be clear instructions on how to print from MCS Linux on the printers installed in the Intel lab.

When determining the site capacity, assume that 12.5% of all available MCS PCs will not be working on the day, even if they have been tested successfully three days earlier.
