User accounts are required for shell access to our HPC nodes, including remote desktop usage.
Contents
Account creation
User accounts for the GPU cluster must be created by someone with administrative-level access to the servers.
The standard process is:
- Request account from Admin
- Receive ID and password via email or WhatsApp.
After this, the user will have a private folder on /home/[userID]
that can't be accessed by non-admins.
Connect
Users can connect via ssh. Refer to the server spec table for the IP or URL.
Change your password (recommended)
- Change your password upon first login, using the command
passwd
. Don't use a weak password.
Deactivate your anaconda environment (optional)
The Anaconda base environment may be activated by default when you first log in. To prevent this automatic activation type: conda config --set auto_activate_base false
. The modifications to $PATH
have been associated with buggy remote desktop issues.
