Basic access to our large-scale computer systems is by logging in to the Login node as the gateway from outside the CMC-SCinet using SSH and GSI-SSH. After succeeding with the login, users are automatically connected to the Frontend node as the working computing server. Users can develop and compile their own program as well as submit jobs through scheduler.
 

(note) In the case of login via GSI-SSH, you will login to nodes that have both the function of the Frontend node and the Login node.
