PDSF Home

All the linux interactive nodes are known under the name of pdsf.nersc.gov and should be accessed via that name. To access them the ssh protocol should be used and you should make sure that a Keyboard Interactive method is available in your ssh client.

If you run into problems during the login process please check out our FAQ pages.

If your major group is rhstar STAR (just like BNL) environment will be automatically set up for you.

We also provide Globus services at PDSF. Our gatekeepers are named:

pdsfgrid.nersc.gov (OSG - release of grid software)

OSG users who want to gain access to the PDSF cluster should apply for a PDSF account and select "OSG" as a project. After they activate their an access to PDSF via the pdsfgrid2.nersc.gov gatekeeper will be granted.
