Connect to the cluster​

warning

Accounts are for personal use and non-transferable.

If the project requires another person's access to the machine, the person responsible for the project will be in charge of making these types of requests.

To connect to the cluster it is necessary to have a public key that must be sent to the cluster administration team to be installed.

There is a login nodes on the machine, all connections must be done via SSH (Secure SHell), for example:

[ user@PRT1234L ~]$ ssh john.doe@hpc.tri.lan
CALCULATIONS ON THE LOGIN NODE ARE NOT ALLOWED

The login node is not a place to start any serious calculations nor is it a playground for testing purposes or compiling programs! Any user processes violating this rule will be terminated immediately without any warning!
