Interactive Access

You can log in to Genepool using SSH (Secure Shell) with the following command from any UNIX, Linux, FreeBSD, etc. command shell or terminal:

ssh -l username genepool.nersc.gov

There are several SSH-capable clients available for Windows, Mac, and UNIX/Linux machines. NERSC does not support or recommend any particular client.

Genepool has multiple login nodes which sit behind a load balancer.

Please do not execute long-running applications on the login nodes.  Instead, use a batch script and submit it so that the applications run on the Genepool compute nodes.
