How you can help

If you used any of our resources for your research, please acknowledge CSC and Geoportti in your publications, it is important for project continuation and funding reports. As an example, you can write:

“The authors wish to thank CSC - IT Center for Science, Finland (urn:nbn:fi:research-infras-2016072531) and the Open Geospatial Information Infrastructure for Research (Geoportti, urn:nbn:fi:research-infras-2016072513) for computational resources and support”.

Extra: Connecting to the supercomputer via SSH

We have accessed the supercomputer via the webinterface in order to not overwhelm you with setups before the course. However, this way may not always be the most convenient. You can also directly connect your computer to the supercomputer via SSH.

Connecting with SSH clients

• SSH clients give command-line access to a supercomputer or any other Linux server.

• Basic SSH connection will not allow displaying remote graphics, but it is possible to set up with extra settings.

• SSH clients:

  • Mac and Linux have Terminal for SSH connections.

  • In Windows:

    • Command Prompt or Powershell are always avaialbe and can be used for basic connections.

    • Special tools like PuTTY or MobaXterm provide more options, inc possibility to save settings, but need installation.

• To avoid typing your password every time again and to make your connection more secure, you can set up SSH-keys.

• LUMI Docs: Get started.
