# Booking

You should book and use the correct computer to avoid conflicting with other people's use of the machines.

If you come to a machine in use, please speak to a technician, as it may be used for a long-running task like AI training.

You can book these computers on [ORB](https://orb.arts.ac.uk). Please try to start overnight and weekend tasks after 19:00 so the computers can be used during the day for shorter sessions.
