Booking
You can book computers if you want to leave processes running, avoiding 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. Please try to start overnight and weekend tasks after 19:00 so the computers can be used during the day for shorter sessions.
