Using the Workstations

There are three workstations available in the lab: ayan, echo, and manu. To access them, you can either use VSCode or SSH.

GPUs

Name	OS	RAM	GPU
ayan	Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS	126 GB	4 x NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti (11 GB)
echo	Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS	252 GB	4 x NVIDIA RTX 3090 (24 GB)
manu	Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS	126 GB	4 x NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti (11 GB)

You can check the status of the GPUs using nvidia-smi. For very long jobs please use SCC.

Remote access via SSH

You can get a remote shell on echo using

$ ssh user@echo.bumc.bu.edu

Where user is your BU username. You can also authenticate using an SSH key, so you won’t have to enter your password as often: if you don’t already have an SSH key pair, generate it

$ ssh-keygen

then copy your public key to the workstation

ssh-copy-id user@echo.bumc.bu.edu

You are now able to login without typing your password.
