Note if you have cygwin installed, you can open a cygwin-terminal and then use ssh the same as for Linux and Mac below.

If you aren’t sure what cygwin is, you can safely ignore the above line.

Linux and Mac

Use ssh on the command line:

ssh ku-username@login.kuacc.ku.edu.tr

Note: KU username and password are your HPC username and password.

For visualization, you can use -X or -Y options:

Linux:

ssh username@login.kuacc.ku.edu.tr -Xl username

 

Mac:

 ssh username@login.kuacc.ku.edu.tr -Yl username

 

-Visualization with X/Y options can slow down your computer. If you want visualization which is fast or you will submit an interactive job or running some Matlab code you may want to use VNC. To download VNC follow the steps on this page. For more information about the visualization visit interactive jobs page.
