Compute vs Login/Submission Nodes
Written on 26.05.2026 19:05 by Adam Dziedzic
Dear Students,
We are forwarding to you the message from the IT:
We have a bunch of students from the course that seem to be using the submission nodes as compute nodes.
I do want to stress that this is not the intended use and the submission nodes (conduit and conduit2) are indeed that - submission nodes.
As a great alternative - also to using VS Code to connect to the submission nodes, use Code Server via: ood.hpc.uni-saarland.de (documentation at: https://wiki.cs.uni-saarland.de/en/HPC/interactive)
We will kill processes that obviously violate this and, if you repeatedly use the submission nodes for more intensive work, we might block their access.
Best,
Joachim
