The CSC Cluster tinis

Account registration

The CSC cluster tinis is the university’s newest computing cluster, coming
online in November 2015. It provides 3500 single-processor nodes for research
purposes throughout the university. For the CS402 module a number of nodes
have been reserved for our use. This document will guide you through the initial
task of registering an account on the cluster.

1 Create a SCRTP account

A SCRTP account is necessary in order to have a storage area on tinis. Visit
this page to create an account, using your university credentials to authenticate:

https://freecentre.csc.warwick.ac.uk/account/create.php

Further information can be found at:

http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/research/rtp/sc/desktop/myaccount

2 Creating an SSH key

Access to tinis is provided via an account that is accessed by an SSH key, and
so you must generate one for yourself:

1. Open a terminal window and type:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096

This command will generate a pair of RSA keys, public and private, with
a key length of 4096 bits.

2. You will then be asked to provide a �lename for the new key. The default
name id_rsa is �ne unless there already exists a key with that name, in
which case you should provide an unused name (for example tinis_rsa).

3. Next you will be asked for a passphrase. Please use a strong passphrase.

4. You will now have two new keys in the directory ${HOME}/.ssh/. The
key ending with .pub is the public key and should be provided during
registration; the other key is the private key and should not be disclosed,
only used to log into tinis.
