There are a few methods for connecting to the supercomputer; each has their advantages and disadvantages.

Connecting to the Supercomputer with SSH is the most versatile method, though it tends to be slower with interactive graphical applications. If you intend to use applications that rely on a point-and-click interface, we recommend the web portal “Aloe Desktop” for these cases.

Our webportal has become the standard for new users, as it provides a file system viewer and editor, a job submission tool, the ability to view the job queue, and a zoo of interactive applications including a virtual desktop, Jupyter Lab, and RStudio. In the file manager, uploading files is as easy as dragging-and-dropping through the interface!
