Accessing the High Performance Computing Environment

If working in high performance computing environment is new to you, we would recommend you attend SciNet workshops to learn more, especially their Intro to SciNet & Triullium workshop (run periodically) or watch a recording of a previous session.

But here are some steps to get your started:

To access the environment from a Windows machine, you will need an SSH client. We would recommend MobaXterm, and we will be using it in our tutorial examples
Once you have installed MobaXterm, start it up
From the Session menu, select New Session
Select SSH from the top left
For the remote host, use this format <computecanadausername>@trillium.scinet.utoronto.ca, substituting in your Compute Canada account username. For example, doej@trillium.scinet.utoronto.ca
Click on the Advanced SSH settings tab below
For SSH-browser type, select SCP (enhanced speed)
Put a checkmark next to Use private key. Click on the blue page icon to browse to the private key you setup when creating your public key for your Compute Canada account
Then click on OK to connect
Enter in your Compute Canada account password
You are now connected to the server
To log out, type exit and press Enter. Then press Enter again to close the tab
