How can I access the cluster frontends?

Practically all HPC-systems at RRZE use private IP-addresses that can only be reached from within the FAU. The dialog servers are the entry point for customers that want to access the clusters from the outside.

Login to the dialog-servers is via SSH.

Available servers

• cshpc.rrze.fau.de – cshpc is a Linux-System that permits login to all HPC-accounts. A more verbose description of this system can be found below.
• dialog.rrze.uni-erlangen.de – dialog is the public dialog server at RRZE. All employees and students can login here with their IDM account. It can be used instead of cshpc – but we advise to do so only in rare circumstances, e.g. if the cshpc is down, as this machine is not integrated with the HPC infrastructure and has a very different software environment. NHR users cannot use this server.
