Connecting to a compute cluster (Kebnekaise)¶
In this session we will look at connecting to Kebnekaise, with specifics dependent on the operating system you are using.
There are several ways to connect:
- Through ThinLinc (client and web)
- Through Open OnDemand
- Through regular SSH (Windows) (macOS) (Linux/Unix)
The two former are best if you want a graphical interface, while the latter is best for text-based interaction as well as connecting when you have a slow connection.
Login nodes/access
Kebnekaise main SSH login node
kebnekaise.hpc2n.umu.se
Kebnekaise AMD Zen3 login node (since Kebnekaise is a heterogeneous system, the different architectures often have different software (versions). In order to see what is available, and to compile for the correct architecture, there are a few login nodes available.) This for AMD:
kebnekaise-amd.hpc2n.umu.se
Kebnekaise ThinLinc login node
kebnekaise-tl.hpc2n.umu.se
Kebnekaise ThinLinc AMD Zen3 login node (since Kebnekaise is a heterogeneous system, the different architectures often have different software (versions). In order to see what is available, and to compile for the correct architecture, there are a few login nodes available.) This for AMD:
kebnekaise-amd-tl.hpc2n.umu.se
ThinLinc can be used as a stand-alone client and through a web browser. See below for details.
