Interactive session workflows initiate a server, such as a remote desktop or Jupyter Notebook server, on your chosen resource and establish a connection through an SSH tunnel to link it to the Parallel Works platform.
You can launch interactive sessions on the controller or login node of a cluster, on a compute node of a SLURM partition or PBS queue, or in your user workspace (user container).
Here's how to use an interactive session job:
- Choose the resource where you want to start the server.
- Enter or review the input parameters in the provided form. You can find detailed descriptions of each parameter by hovering over the question mark icon.
- Click the "execute" button to launch the job.
- You will be automatically redirected to the session
To return to a running session, go to the 'Sessions' page and click the session's link.
