Overview
Before you set up your connection to ALICE, it is useful to have a generic view of the environment. The picture below describes how the connection to the HPC is going to be set up.
| Name | Function | IP / DNS |
|---|---|---|
| Gateway | The gateway provides a secure method of authenticating over SSH.
|
ssh-gw.leidenuniv.nl |
| Login | The two login nodes can be used to prepare your work. After setting up your calculations, you can place a calculation request in the queue. | 10.161.0.12
10.161.0.13 |
| Data Share | The data share node is used to store any research data used to perform your calculation. | campusdata20.alice.universiteitleiden.nl (10.161.0.33) |
| Management | The management node can be used to retrieve information concerning the HPC. | 10.161.0.10 |
| Queue | The queue is a mechanism of Slurm, when a job is first in line it is picked up when compute resources are available. | |
| Compute Nodes | When the compute nodes are assigned with a job they execute the calculation. |
