Registering for an account

Please email your public SSH key to Lincoln Bryant (lincolnb@hep.uchicago.edu). If you don't have a public key, you can generate a private/public key pair by using ssh-keygen on Linux and OS X or by downloading puttygen for Windows (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html). Lincoln will then email you your assigned user name and node.

• ssh-keygen -t dsa

Logging in

The ssh gateway for accessing resources for the workshop is uct3.uchicago.edu. From there, you can log in to any of the interactive boxes set up for the workshop.

Available Resources

There are four interactive nodes made available exclusively for the workshop. These nodes are uct3-c031, uct3-c032, uct3-c033, and uct3-c034. Each node has:

• 24 logical cores
• 48 GB RAM
• 10 Gb Ethernet
• 4 TB scratch space mounted at /scratch
• Access to ATLAS software via CVMFS

We suggest that 3-4 workshop attendees be assigned to each node.

Setting up ATLAS software

To set up the ATLAS software from CVMFS, simply "setupATLAS" from one of the interactive nodes.

Writing Data

User home directories are not mounted locally, so data should be written into the /scratch disk.
