Interactive HPC and the LUNARC Desktop Environment

Lindemann, Jonas LU and Follin, Anders LU (2024) 2024 Workshops of the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis, SC Workshops 2024 In Proceedings of SC 2024-W: Workshops of the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis p.2012-2019
Abstract

Since 2011, LUNARC has aimed to provide an interactive HPC environment for its resource users. Several different architectures have been used, but since 2013, we have been using a remote desktop environment based on Cendio's ThinLinc [1] combined with a custom backend framework, GfxLauncher [2], supporting hardware-accelerated graphics applications and Jupyter Notebooks [3] submitted to the backend cluster.
