As such, you need to use a different computer (i.e., a laptop) to remotely log in to the cluster and either (a) start an interactive session, in which you can type commands into the Linux shell, or open up an interactive version of (say) R or python and type commands there, or (b) submit a batch job or shell script to run without user interaction.īatch jobs and scripts are pretty straightforward, so I’m not going to yammer on about that in this post. Because the computers are so awesome, they have to be kept in a room that is specially cooled and maintained, and they don’t have desktops that we can sit down and interact with. Our department has a pretty sweet set of really powerful computers (“the cluster”) available for us to use. Let’s start from the very very beginning. As promised, here are the details about how I make interactive coding easy for me. In my software/hardware setup post, I talked a little bit about working on a remote machine.
