ACM hosts a variety of activities throughout the academic year, including workshops on currently-running CS courses like 2102/2103 and 2303 and topics that are of interest to students outside of courses. We also host the annual Hackathon at WPI, GoatHacks, every January.
ACM also hosts a hypervisor to provide services to both the campus community and the outside world. Our Linux mirror serves over 180 terabytes of traffic each calendar year for distributions like Debian, Arch, and OpenSUSE.
ACM maintains a presence in the CS department's server room in the subbasement of Fuller Labs. Our current primary hypervisor is a Penguin Computing reLion 101. This server provides services like the GoatHacks website and registration system, as well as the ACM LDAP server. We also have two virtual machines on CS department infrastructure, providing our main website and the Linux mirrors. If you want to learn more about our infrastructure, reach out to our sysadmin at acm-sysadmin [at] wpi [dot] edu.
Coming down the pipeline is the potential for supporting non-academic student projects on our infrastructure. If this is something you might be interested in, reach out to our sysadmin at acm-sysadmin [at] wpi [dot] edu for more details. Stay tuned in our Discord for more details as well.
