Connecting to the Supercomputer with the Web Portal
The web portal has become the standard for new users. 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! This web portal is accessible through sol.asu.edu.The virtual desktop provided by sol.asu.edu is the best way to use graphical applications on the supercomputer. However, please try to avoid using graphical sessions unless you are first learning how to work with the supercomputer or you’re working with software that is only accessible through a graphical user interface. The goal of any interactive session on the supercomputer should be to develop a working /wiki/spaces/RC/pages/1643905055 so that you may properly begin to take advantage of what supercomputing offers.
Connecting to the Supercomputer with SSH
SSH is the most versatile method. It is ideal for submitting jobs at scale by allowing you to create custom workflows, submit multiple jobs simultaneously through job arrays, and explore options to avoid data loss through dependencies. However, it tends to be slower with interactive graphical applications. If you intend to use MATLAB graphically (as opposed to MATLAB command line only) the screen draw will be very slow. For graphical applications, we recommend our web portal instead.
