SSH connection timeouts
Written on 24.05.2026 21:13 by Maitri Vignesh Shah
Hi everyone,
We are aware that several students are experiencing SSH connection timeouts to the HPC cluster (both conduit and conduit2). This appears to be a cluster-side issue and unfortunately something we cannot resolve directly. For such issues, please reach out to the HPC support team directly as they are best placed to help.
As a workaround, plain terminal SSH seems to be working for most students, while the VS Code Remote SSH connection is more affected. You can connect directly with:
ssh <username>@conduit2.hpc.uni-saarland.de or ssh <username>@conduit.hpc.uni-saarland.de
In the meantime, Google Colab is also a good temporary alternative if you need GPU access to continue working on the assignment.
Apologies for the inconvenience, and good luck with the submission!
