Jupyter Hub on ARC

There is a Jupyter Hub attached to the ARC cluster. One must have an ARC account first, to connect to the hub.

• http://jupyter.ucalgary.ca.

Currently supports python3 only.

Connections are only available for computers that are part of the UofC campus network. To connect from outside of the UofC campus network, please use the Fort VPN client to connect to the campus network, first.

Compute Canada Jupyter Hub for UofC

Hosted by Compute Canada for UofC. Login with your UofC credentials.

• https://ucalgary.syzygy.ca

Supports python2, python3, julia, and R.

Running a jupyter notebook on ARC's compute node

Start an interactive job on ARC:

$ salloc -N 1 -n 1 -c 12 --mem=0 -t 3:00:00 -p parallel
    salloc: Granted job allocation 5486616
    salloc: Waiting for resource configuration
    salloc: Nodes cn0526 are ready for job
    [drozmano@cn0526 ~]$ 

The command requested a 3 hours interactive job on the Parallel partition. The request includes all 12 CPUs and all the 23GB of RAM on the compute node. The compute node cn026, was allocated to the job.

Load a python software module you want to use and start a jupyter notebook server. Before starting the notebook we have to unset the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR variable, otherwise the notebook crashes.

$ module load python/anaconda3-2018.12
$ unset XDG_RUNTIME_DIR

$ $ jupyter notebook --no-browser --ip=0.0.0.0
