I'm on leave but Mike Mussard can probably make a cluster machine available for Victoria to use without the log off and power saving issues.

Hi Victoria, David,

I frequently hit the same issue.  The undergraduate labs are not suitable for
running research simulations.

In the past I have got my MSci and UROP students access to the College's HPC
resources (http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/ict/services/hpc).  This might be suitable if the
code is C/C++/Fortran/etc and the student has the support of their supervisor and has
some experience with Linux (or guidance from someone who does).

Best wishes,

    --James

Unfortunately, the code takes a very long time to run and I expect it will take a good number of days to complete.
