Accessing the Triton Resource
Early Adopter Phase Ends
Triton now in full production
The Triton Resource is now in production with complete TAPP-based accounting and allocation management. All jobs must be charged against a formal allocation from now on. Jobs run on the 256GB PDAF nodes will be charged a premium of two SUs per core hour, and jobs run on the 512GB PDAFM nodes will be charged at four times the core rate. Please see the FAQ and Jobs pages for more details.
Users may continue to install software in their home directories if they require packages not provided by the Triton software stack.
Access Policy
Access to the UCSD Triton Resource at SDSC is governed by the Triton Affiliates and Partners Program, or TAPP. The policy supports current UCSD, SDSC and UC researchers, as well as non-UC industry partners, through a simple, streamlined allocation process with minimal overhead. For details, please visit the TAPP page.
All users are encouraged to join the Triton Discussion List for primary Triton support and community feedback.
Login Procedure
To access Triton, you need a local account on the login node. If you already have a UCSD Active Directory (AD) account, it will be used to create your Triton account, and you will authenticate using the passphrase associated with it. If you do not have a UCSD AD account, a Triton account will be created for you using an ssh public key you provide. The details of this setup will be handled through the TAPP Manager.
Login credentials must be entered at a Triton Resource login node. Currently, the only login node is:
triton-login.sdsc.edu
Once logged in, users can submit jobs to all of the Triton compute nodes through the queue system. To find out more about running jobs, see the Running Jobs page. To find out more about logging in to Triton with a new account, please see the New User Guide.
Free Trial Accounts!
Currently the TAPP Manager will grant anyone, UC or non-UC, a 1000-SU trial account free of charge. Send a request to TAPP and provide your name, affiliation, email address, and if non-UC, a public ssh key for remote login.
Early Adopter Phase Has Ended
The Early Adopter phase of Triton ended on October 5, 2009. All accounts that existed at that time were granted an additional 1000 SUs, and all TAPP allocations were reset to their initial values plus the 1000 SU startup award.
