Remote Connection to Cluster Computer??

[Mirrielees RCC (Cory Quinn)]

I have a resident that needs to use Matlab for class and he wants to know if he could somehow connect remotely to a cluster computer. Does anyone have any experience with doing this if it's possible?

Thanks,

it's doable with ssh in the command line.

on a mac you type this into Terminal
ssh -Y [sunetid]@[cluster]
where [sunetid] is the user's sunet ID and [cluster] is the url/IP of one of the cluster computers (not residential cluster) that has software to be used. I used to use bramble, but I think it's been taken down. I can't remember the names of any of the other ones, so maybe someone else can be of help there

For Windows you can use Xming with either putty or SecureCRT. VNC can get
annoying since you usually forward the whole desktop.



The pod cluster is in Terman; myth is in Gates; corn (which replaces the old
bramble, hedge, and vine clusters) is the current general cluster I think;
cardinal is a "lightweight" cluster for email etc (not for matlab).



All of these clusters use Stanford AFS so whatever your resident does on the
residential cluster machines should carry over to the UNIX clusters. Except
for cardinal, they all have Matlab version R2009b installed.

for a mac, just type "ssh ***@pod.stanford.edu -Y"

and "matlab" after you've connected.



"Unix Cluster



Unix clusters are available for computationally intensive jobs. You can

view available clusters here

(http://www.stanford.edu/services/unixcomputing/which.html). The pod

cluster is physically located in the Terman Enginneering building. The

others need to be remotely connected to by ssh. To ssh, you can download

the SecureCRT (terminal) and SecureFX (file transfer) client from

Stanford on the Essential Stanford Software website.



There are two ways to get a graphical interface remotely, connecting by

vnc or forward X11 to an X11 server on your own computer. I recommend

the Xming-mesa X11 Server and TightVNC."
