MFCF supports the computing needs of all members and visitors of the Faculty of Mathematics with the exception of members and visitors of the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science. These persons should instead contact our colleagues in the Computer Science Computing Facility (CSCF) for service.

- Nov. 15, 2023MC 3015 server room shutdown Dec. 6-7
What is happpening?
Plant Operations needs to shut off the chilled water service that provides cooling to the MC 3015 server room for two days. As a result, we must shut down almost everything in that server room. Most of our computing services have some replication in the M3 server room so a subset of the computing environments will remain available, but there will also be network upgrades that require brief interruptions of networking among all servers that stay up.
When is this happening?
- Aug. 9, 2023Windows GPU server
There is now a Windows GPU server available in the research environment. It has three NVIDIA Tesla T4 GPUs that are well-suited for machine learning / AI applications. Our website has more details about wingpu.math.uwaterloo.ca
- Aug. 9, 2023new biglinux server and cluster
We have added two services to the Linux computing environment this term.
- cpu158 is a new member of the biglinux pool
- hpc-pr3 is a new eight-node cluster intended to replace the old hpc-pr2 cluster
See details of the big and fast Linux pools and the specialty machines including the clusters on our website.
