The exercises for the deep learning lab course we are teaching at the University of Freiburg. The course page itself can be found here: http://ais.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/teaching/ws17/deep_learning_course/

1. Connect to the main server

   ssh [email protected]

2. Do not run anything on the main server. Connect to one of the pool computer there instead. Preferably use tfpool25-46 or tfpool51-63 they provide the best GPUs.

   ssh tfpoolXX

3. Replace XX with a 2 digit number of the computer you want to connect . Before running make sure no one else is using the selected computer. Also make sure your tensorflow program is running on the gpu and not the cpu.
