Graphical Login (VNC)
Graphical Login (VNC) only with JURECA login possible.
Remote visualization, either implemented within visualization applications themselves or through server software,
eliminates the need for off-site file transfers and allows HPC users to run a broad range of visualization tools
in-place on the supercomputer where the data resides and more compute resources are available.
A graphical login using Virtual Network Computing (VNC) simplifies the access to remote visualization.
A broad variety of Linux applications with graphical user interface and/or need for OpenGL can be used directly on the supercomputers via VNC.
VNC provides a complete graphical and remote desktop by
- transmitting the keyboard and mouse events from your computer to the remote machine and
- relaying the graphical screen updates back in the other direction.
VNC is
- platform-independent (VNC viewers are available for almost any operating system)
- application-independent (no need for remote visualization support inside the application)
- multiple clients may connect to a VNC server at the same time sharing the same session (support, presentation, group discussions)
Ok, what do I have to do?
Strudel (Scientific Remote Desktop Launcher)

Alternatives - RECOMMENDED
I cannot (or do not want to) use Strudel to start a VNC session - how do I start VNC manually?
vncserver/ssh/vncviewer (manual connection for VNC)

I do not want a full blown remote desktop, give me a lightweight solution:
Xpra - screen for X (no VNC - only a 3d accelerated "ssh -X")

Alternatives - NOT RECOMMENDED
I do not want a full blown remote desktop, give me a lightweight solution:
vglconnect/vglrun (no VNC - only a 3d accelerated "ssh -X")
