<li><p><b>Reserving a system</b> is currently done on an ad hoc basis.
A wiki used to system reservation will shortly be introduced. In
general, it is recommended that reservations of systems occur for
periods of 8 hours or shorter, in order to facilitate shared use,
although longer tests or experiments are certainly possible.</p></li>
<li><p><b>Reserving a system</b> is now done using a <a

on the FreeBSD.org wiki</a>. Please make sure to mark machines as
available when done with them, and log your use in the "past users"
list for any significant project, as this information can be used
to help support additional hardware acquisition and requests for
donations.</p></li>
<li><p><b>Power cycling a system</b> is currently performed by
connecting to apc2, the remote power system, using a serial port on

system, it is requested that developers minimize the amount of time
spent connected to it, so that parallel use of the system can occur
more readily. In particular, please do not leave a cu/tip session
to the power system open for extended periods of time.</p></li>

<h2>Reservations</h2>
<p>Currently, no automated reservation system is in place for the netperf
cluster, but we hope to introduce some system for reservation shortly.
In the meantime, the following standing reservations are in place for
the netperf cluster:</p>
<table class="tblbasic">
<tr><th>System</th><th>Developer(s)</th><th>Project</th></tr>
<tr><td>pjd</td><td>&a.pjd;</td><td>gjournal, GEOM, opencrypto</td></tr>
<tr><td>elephant</td><td>&a.rwatson;</td><td>TrustedBSD audit
development.</td></tr>
<tr><td>orangutan</td><td>&a.davidxu;</td><td>libthread development,
testing, and performance measurement.</td></tr>
<tr><td>tiger-1, tiger-2, tiger-3</td><td>&a.rwatson;</td><td>network
SMP testing and performance optimization.</td></tr>
