Starting an interactive session on Pelle

This page describes how to start an interactive session on Pelle, unlike the general information on starting an interactive session.

To use an interactive session, in a terminal, type:

interactive -A [project name]

For example:

interactive -A uppmax2023-2-25

This starts an interactive session using project uppmax2023-2-25 that has a default duration of 1 hour.

Forgot your Pelle project?

One can go to the SUPR NAISS pages to see one's projects,

An example of the Pelle project called 'UPPMAX 2023/2-25'

On the SUPR NAISS pages, projects are called 'UPPMAX [year]/[month]-[day]', for example, 'UPPMAX 2023/2-25'. The UPPMAX project name, as to be used on Pelle, has a slightly different name: the account name to use on Pelle is uppmax[year]-[month]-[day], for example, uppmax2023-2-25

To increase the duration of the interactive session, add the use of -t:

interactive -A [project name] -t [session_duration]

For example:

interactive -A uppmax2023-2-25 -t 8:00:00

This starts an interactive session using project uppmax2023-2-25 that has a maximum duration of 8 hours.

Has Pelle frozen?

It can take tens of seconds before an interactive session is allocated.

Pelle has not frozen, just be a bit more patient.

To stop the session, do:

exit

This will take you back to the login node.
