Introduction

The hpc clusters are only accessible via ssh (secure shell). To log in you need an ssh client. If you use Windows, you can download and use PuTTY, Macintosh and Linux computers already have an ssh client built in. There is no need to log in to a bastion host first, you can log in from anywhere in the world.

How to log in from Mac OS X

Mac OS X is in fact a full blown UNIX system under the hood. A terminal program comes standard with OS X, you can find it in Applications -> Utilities on every Mac. Once the terminal program is started you'll have a command promt. Now just type:

ssh <netid>@hpc99.tudelft.net

Where <netid> is of course your own netid. Instead if hpc99 you type the actual name of the cluster that you have access to.
