Hello. I am Kaneko, a M2 student. The other day, members of the system section moved the server rack.
In our laboratory, students are divided into sections to share the work in the laboratory, and we, the system section, are in charge of managing the servers in the laboratory.

The servers (muffin, monaka, and muffin2), which were recently introduced to the lab, have been managed on the desks in the lab because of the possibility of frequent configuration changes.
However, we decided to move muffin and monaka to the rack because it is out of the way to keep the server on the desk and it is likely to fall down in case of an earthquake.

The work was successfully completed in about two hours despite some trouble, and we feel that the laboratory space has become a little more spacious.

P.S.
Through this work we learned an important thing to solve the problem of server installation.
–Power.
We were able to solve some problems by brute force. After all, power is everything. We will continue to work on various tasks in the system section and will keep this lesson in mind.

Hello! This is Koda of B4.

The Henepata seminar, a joint effort between Takizawa Laboratory and Kobayashi/Sato Laboratory, was recently completed.
The Henepata Seminar is a seminar in which we read the book “Composition and Design of Computers” written by Patterson and Hennessy and present the contents of the book.

This year, three B4 students from Takizawa Laboratory and seven B4 and M1 students from Kobayashi Laboratory participated in the seminar and discussed the basics of computer configuration.
In addition, professors and senior students gave us advice on our presentations and supplemented the content to deepen our understanding.

I am determined to make use of the basic computer knowledge I learned this time and do my best in my future research activities!

Nice to meet you!
I am Daiki Nakai, a first-year master’s student at Tohoku Graduate School.
As it is the Corona Disaster, the open campus is now online.
The dates and times are 10:00~17:00 on 7/27 and 7/28.
If you want to hear real voices of current students, please feel free to join us!

Hello there. This is Aoyagi.
Recently a new server was installed in our laboratory. This server will be equipped with GPUs and VEs, and will be used for research.
Due to its similarity in size and use purpuse, it was named “muffin2” after “muffin”, the server which was installed last year.
Let’s see inside our new mate. You can see there are a lot of memory slots, actually 32 slots. In the picture below, you can see 8 slots are taken already.
But the main memory reaches 128G byte already. If we install memories to the rest 24 slots it would be possible to produce “a beast” with 1T byte main memory.
I’m really looking forward to seeing the day!
