[slurm-users] Visualisation -- Slurm and (Turbo)VNC

[John Hearns]

Hi David. I set up DCV on a cluster of workstations at a facility not far
from you a few years ago (in Woking...).
I'm not sure what the relevance of having multiple GPUs is  - I thought the
DCV documentation dealt with that ??

One thing you should do is introduce MobaXterm to your  users if they are
Windows users
https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/

It has built in VNC clients and you can easily start a remote Linux desktop
session.
The guys at Greenwich setup Moba with a login script which started VNC on
their HPC cluster.
