Special Features
The access to the machines in the Cray-Cyber network became more and more
comfortable during the time by providing the following features (you should
probably inform you about them for using the services efficiently)
Documentation:
During the time, we wrote some documentation for efficient use of our
machines.
For example:
- Short guide to vector programming/parallelization
- Short form NOS commands
- Short usage guide for NOS systems
- Short usage guide for UNICOS systems
- EP/IX software porting guide
Mailing lists:
When becoming a Cray-Cyber user, you are automatically subscribed to the
very low-volume mailing list "Announce".
There is an additional "Users" list for discussions regarding Cray-Cyber to
which you can voluntarily subscribe.

Session management:
In order to comfortably manage your sessions on our machines, we enabled the
usage of the GNU screen tool for all non-guest interactive sessions.
If you have processes running which take some time and produce interactive
output you may want to detach it and attach it again lateron.

File transfer:
You may want to compile your own source projects on one of our machines without
having to write all the code again (or copy it using copy-and-paste), or you
may want to copy results of some calculations to your local computer.
That's why we now have the possibility to transfer files to the Cray-Cyber
network by either using FTP (we strongly discourage from using it) or by
using SCP (Secure CoPy - recommended).
