 Once you have an account on the facility you can log in to the gateway machine cg01.lcs.mit.edu using ssh. Login via ssh is the only mechanism available for accessing the facility from a remote machine. Within the facility rsh is available and no passwords are required. Once you have logged in to the facility you can simply use rsh to access a compute cluster machine and compile and run programs. However, a simple rsh based program will be terminated when a job that is submitted through the PBS queuing system starts on a node. The PBS queuing system should nearly always be used for any programs that run on the myrinet-4 and myrinet-3 compute cluster nodes for more than a minute.
