These are the available lab machines:

• ultra
  • 16 cores
  • 125Gi RAM
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090
• core
• cortex
  • 4 cores
  • 7.6Gi RAM
  • No GPU
• form
  • 20 cores
  • 62Gi RAM
  • NVIDIA TITAN Xp
• geometry
  • 20 cores
  • 62Gi RAM
  • No GPU

When connecting from home or outside the CIM network, you may need to go through one of these gateway servers first:

• barn
• cow
• pig

Use XQuartz to enable graphical applications, else use Terminal.

 ssh -X *yourusername*@*machinename*.cim.mcgill.ca 
# OR
ssh -Y *yourusername*@*machinename*.cim.mcgill.ca  # Admin access (more apps permitted)

First connect through a proxy jump (example using barn):

ssh -J *yourusername*@barn.cim.mcgill.ca *yourusername*@*machinename*.cim.mcgill.ca

To access the CIM system without going to a specific machine:

ssh *yourusername*@barn.cim.mcgill.ca

When using one of the lab machines, your home directory will be mounted at:

/home/leonardo/*yourusername*/src

Your home directory shares resources across all lab machines (ultra, core, etc), which is very convenient. However, your home directory is very small and will fill up quickly, slowing down all lab machines and eventually stop allowing processes to run. Therefore, store large file in either:

/usr/local/data/*yourusername*

OR

/usr/local/faststorage/*yourusername*

These directories are not shared across lab machines but can support large files.

scp /your/PC/path/to/file
*yourusername*@*machinename*.cim.mcgill.ca:/home/leonardo/*yourusername*/src
<code>

=== Copy File with ProxyJump (ie: copying files when outside of the lab)===

<code>
scp -o ProxyJump=*yourusername*@barn.cim.mcgill.ca ./MeanCurvature/Data/PreprocessedVolumes/resampledUS.nii *yourusername*@ultra.cim.mcgill.ca:/home/leonardo/*yourusername*/src/OBNLM

scp -r ./your/PC/path/to/folder *yourusername*@*machinename*.cim.mcgill.ca:/usr/local/data/*yourusername*/

scp -r *yourusername*@*machinename*.cim.mcgill.ca:/path/to/server/folder /path/to/local/folder

sshfs -o ProxyJump=*yourusername*@barn.cim.mcgill.ca *yourusername*@*machinename*.cim.mcgill.ca:/home/leonardo/*yourusername*/src */your/PC/path 

Tip: Always replace *yourusername* with your CIM login and *machinename* with the specific machine name (ultra, core, cortex, form, geometry, etc.).
