How-To's

Login

From the Viz nodes, connect to either Theta or Cooley at ALCF with the command(s):

ssh <username>@theta.alcf.anl.gov

ssh <username>@cooley.alcf.anl.gov

It asks for a password; this is the 8-digit code in the MobilePASS+ app on your phone (instructions on how to set that up are given by ALCF when you create an account).

Start Interactive Session on Cooley

To start an interactive session, run this script:

 /projects/cfdml_aesp/Viz/cooley/Viz-SyncIO/subIntNodesTime.sh 1 120

This will reserve you one processor for 120 minutes (this is the maximum time allowed by ALCF).
