Access to the IBM Power6 system

The IBM Power6 machine "VIP" can be accessed via internet or intranet using ssh:

Access information for DEISA users

ssh vip.rzg.mpg.de .

scp can be used to transfer data to or from vip.rzg.mpg.de.

The login node vip.rzg.mpg.de is mainly intended for editing, compiling and submitting your parallel programs. Interactive usage of the Parallel Operating Environment (POE) on the login node is not enabled. Test or production jobs have to be submitted to the LoadLeveler batch system which reserves and allocates the resources (e.g. compute nodes) required for your job.

Short test jobs (runtime < 15 min) which are requiring 1, 4, 8 or 16 CPUs will run on a dedicated Power6 node with short turn around times.

If you need to debug your program code you may login to the Power6 node vip100.rzg.mpg.de and run your code interactively.
But please, take care that the machine is not overloaded. Don't occupy all the 32 processors, and please do not request more than 25 GB of main memory. Neglecting these recommendations can cause a system crash!
