Interactive Login Nodes
To login in to exfel part of the maxwell cluster you have different options depending on the hardware required.
- ssh max-exfl-display.desy.de: will connect you to one of the EuXFEL display nodes. FastX might your better choice. Please have a look at Access and the Interactive Login.
- ssh max-display.desy.de: will connect you to one of the display nodes. FastX might your better choice.
- ssh max-exfl.desy.de: will connect you to max-exfl001,14,15 (INTEL based part of the partition). It's a load-balanced alias. Use theses nodes to compile, test INTEL-tailored applications.
- Please note: max-exfl-display.desy.de and max-display.desy.de is directly accessible from outside. All other login nodes can only be reached by first connecting to bastion.desy.de.
Login nodes are always shared resources sometimes used by a large number of concurrent users. Don't run compute or memory intense jobs on the login nodes, use a batch job instead!
