Accessing the System

Requirements

• You must be a member of the power group
• Valid Tel Aviv University username and password
• If connecting from outside the TAU network: TAU VPN must be active

Login Node

All access to the cluster is via SSH through the login node:

slurmlogin.tau.ac.il

Your connection is automatically load-balanced across powerslurm-login, powerslurm-login2, and powerslurm-login3.

Connecting via SSH

ssh your_username@slurmlogin.tau.ac.il

With an SSH key:

ssh -i /path/to/your/private_key your_username@slurmlogin.tau.ac.il

Important

• Do not run compute jobs on the login node — use sbatch or srun
• The login node is shared — heavy processes will be killed
