Using NRP Cluster

• You need to be part of namespace to use the NRP hosted JupyterHub service
• Your institution needs to be part of CILogon
• You can access the NRP-hosted JupyterHub platform by visiting the JupyterHub link and logging in with your institutional credentials. Once authenticated, you can choose the hardware specs to spawn your instance and run Jupyter notebooks as usual.
• Your persistent home folder initially will be limited to 5GB. If you need more, you can request it to be extended.
• Your Jupyter container will shut down 1hr after your browser disconnects from it. If you need your job to keep running, don’t close the browser window. You could either use a desktop with a persistent Internet connection or only use this for testing your code.
• Refer to NRP Jupyterhub documentation for more information.

• You do need to be part of a namespace to use the NRP-hosted Coder service.
• Your institution needs to be part of CILogon.
• Coder provides an easy-to-use, JupyterHub-like experience, and you can use the NRP Nautilus cluster without Kubernetes knowledge.
• Coder also runs on the web browser.
• You can run your code without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.
• You can access the NRP-hosted Coder platform by visiting the Coder link and logging in with your institutional credentials using OpenID Connect (once the cluster admins approve your account).
• Look at the Coder documentation to learn more about this option.

• You need to be part of at least one namespace.
• Your institution needs to be part of CILogon.
• Need to know basic Kubernetes. Complete the Basic Kubernetes tutorial.
• This method provides greater control over your computing resources but requires basic Kubernetes knowledge.
• You can create pods, jobs, and deployments while specifying the required CPU, GPU, memory, and other resources.
• This is particularly useful for running custom software stacks or jobs with specific resource requirements.
• Look at NRP Kubernetes documentation for more information.

• Although you can run your own containers, there are services and resources already deployed by cluster admins that you can use without creating those yourself.
• Look at NRP Deployed Services for more information
