Getting Started with PowerPortal

PowerPortal is a web interface for the TAU HPC cluster. It lets you submit batch jobs to Slurm, monitor running and completed jobs, browse output files, and launch GUI applications — all without using the command line.
What you can do
Submit jobs — fill out a form to configure resources (partition, CPUs, memory, GPUs, time limit) and paste your script. No need to write an sbatch file manually.
Monitor jobs — see live job state, allocated nodes, and exit codes. Poll job output directly in the browser.
Save templates — reuse common job configurations without re-entering every field.
View fair-share — check your group's current usage and priority.
Launch GUI apps — open JupyterHub, VS Code, or RStudio in one click.
What PowerPortal does not do
It does not replace SSH. For interactive sessions, 
salloc, or file transfers, use the cluster directly.
It does not manage software modules. Load modules inside your job script with 
module load.
Access
PowerPortal is available at https://powerportal.tau.ac.il. Access requires an active TAU account and membership in the power user group. Contact HPC support to request access.
