Setup

Connection to a GroqRack node is a two-step process.

The first step is to ssh from a local machine to a login node. The second, optional step is to ssh from a login node to a GroqRack node. Jobs may also be started and tracked from login nodes.

Log in to a login node

Connect to a groq login node, editing this command line to use your ALCF user id. You will be prompted for a password; use the 8-digit code provided by MobilePASS+.

ssh [email protected]

This randomly selects one of the login nodes, namely groq-login-01.ai.alcf.anl.gov or groq-login-02.ai.alcf.anl.gov. You can alternatively ssh to the specific login nodes directly.

Log in to a GroqRack node

Once you are on a login node, optionally ssh to one of the GroqRack nodes, which are numbered 1-9.

ssh groq-r01-gn-01.ai.alcf.anl.gov
# or
ssh groq-r01-gn-09.ai.alcf.anl.gov
# or any node with hostname of form groq-r01-gn-0[1-9].ai.alcf.anl.gov
