| schestowitz | They are pissing me off by not providing compute servers of decent quality | Feb 28 07:11 |

| schestowitz | By the way, I'm sorry to overburden you with this. I have no copy of | Feb 28 07:23 |
| schestowitz | MATLAB, I have no computer in CS (just a public cluster), and SSH access | Feb 28 07:23 |
| schestowitz | all I have left, with sluggish visualisation due to connection speed. | Feb 28 07:23 |
| schestowitz | Since yesterday I have spent a lot of time struggling with technical | Feb 28 07:24 |
| schestowitz | issues that impede my progress. I just cannot perform my work like this. | Feb 28 07:24 |

| schestowitz | And this will be the last one I send before/unless I file for resignation:' | Feb 28 07:24 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 28 07:24 |
| schestowitz | I am surprised that there is no NFS set up, with access to entire clusters from which to choose hardware to run experiments on. I would say that everything takes me twice as much as it's supposed to because I struggle not with doing my development but with access and resources issues (and I am judged by progress I make, not the number of hours that I put in). For example, it has just taken me half an hour (I am not | Feb 28 07:24 |
| schestowitz | exaggerating) to save a little M-file that I was editing. Sessions sometimes freeze altogether and I need to open new ones, I cannot rotate 3-D datasets, etc. Getting set up in the lab was time consuming too (over 5 hours), and I still cannot be guaranteed access to any one specific machine, from which I then just remote login into one of the overworked servers (or a server that does not contain the files I need or keep them | Feb 28 07:24 |
| schestowitz | in sync, e.g. with NFS). This is counter-productive to actual research and eventually it can be me who's blamed for little progress when it fact I just don't get the facilities that I need, not even one responsive machine to run MATLAB on. | Feb 28 07:24 |
| schestowitz | As a post-doctoral person I've been used to having my own office/lab and PCs, usually with access to clusters on which to run experiments, especially heavy overnight computation (where sharing resources was not an issue). How can I be expected to perform if I am given so little in terms of facilities? | Feb 28 07:24 |
