Illinois Campus Cluster Online!
We are excited to announce that the Campus Cluster is now online at our new home (The National Petascale Computing Facility or NPCF)
How to Access
Users can access the cluster via SSH: cc-login.campuscluster.illinois.edu
(note: 2-factor authentication via Duo is now required)
Also please note that the SSH keys of the login servers has been changed, accepting the new keys should be expected.
Documentation
Users looking to avoid re-entering passwords on ICCP can configure “ControlMaster” with their SSH client to improve their existing cluster workflow. We have a detailed document on how to set up ControlMaster (shared on Box). We are also working to integrate the contents of this document fully into our existing ICCP Documentation for all users. In the meantime, please feel free to use the instructions and share with your users. The FAQ page also covers additional changes to the cluster environment.
Do you need computing power or storage for your research?
The Illinois Campus Cluster provides access to computing and data storage resources and frees you from the hassle of administering your own compute cluster. Any individual, research team, or campus unit can invest in compute nodes or storage space. System administration is subsidized by the campus. Infrastructure fees are fees that cover the fair share portion of shared system components. Those fees vary by system type/configuration and are currently paid for by the Illinois Computes program.
