There are two methods for accessing the cluster SSH and the Citrix Receiver.

# OnDemand Portal (Recommended) is a Web interface which allows upload and download files; create, edit, submit, and monitor jobs; run GUI applications; and connect via SSH, all via a web browser, with no client software to install and configure. For more information, click here.

# SSH is a command line interface, and comes built-in to Linux and OS X operating systems. This requires a bit technical knowledge, but provides much greater control and access to applications which don't have graphical launchers. For more information on connecting via SSH, click here.

# Citrix Receiver, This graphical method uses a webpage to connect a session into the cluster. Once logged in, you can choose either access the Production HPC cluster or the Development HPC cluster, for more information about the Citrix Receiver, click here.
