Login node¶
When you SSH into the cluster, you land on the login node. This node is shared by every user, so please be considerate:
- Use it for short pre- and post-processing, compiling small projects, developing code, and downloading data.
- Do not run long or CPU-heavy work on the login node — submit those to the compute nodes via Slurm.
- All your processes are killed when your last session ends.
tmuxandnohupwill not keep them alive.
Warning
Long-running processes on the login node will be terminated without notice if they impact other users. Use compute nodes for anything non-trivial.
