This is the landing page for all users of the Australian BioCommons resources at Pawsey Supercomputing Centre. In order to use any of the resources, you will first have to sign up at the Australian BioCommons page. Following that, you will:
- Receive an email invitation to become a Pawsey user, and once you have accepted it;
- Receive an email confirmation of your Pawsey username;
- Make a reservation of the resource on our reservation portal;
- Receive an email on further login details of the resource you signed up for.
Ensure that you are using an institution email and have a public key available to access our Nimbus instances, if that be the system your requested resource is on.
To create a keypair, use the following commands on your local machine (the computer that you will be accessing the Pawsey resource from):
>ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/firstname_lastname_key >chmod 600 ~/.ssh/firstname_lastname_key >cat ~/.ssh/firstname_lastname_key.pub
The output of the last command is the public key. Please note that you should never give out the private key, which is stored in ~/.ssh/ as above.
