Easley Cluster Quick Start Guide

Connect to the Easley Cluster

Attention

If you have not yet submitted account request for the Easley cluster, visit https://aub.ie/hpcacct and complete the form. If you have submitted a request, but have not received an email confirming approval of your account, please contact your PI sponsor to inquire about the status of the request.

Pre-Requisites:

To connect to Easley, open your favorite SSH client or terminal program, and use easley.auburn.edu as the hostname and your normal Auburn userid and password as the credentials.

For command-line terminals such as Mac OS and Linux, execute the following command …

$ ssh <auburn-userid>@easley.auburn.edu

We recommend the PuTTY SSH Client for Windows users.

Note

The Easley cluster uses the Slurm scheduler, not Moab/Torque. Therefore, scheduler commands are different than those used on the Hopper Cluster. Please see our Easley User’s Guide for details.
