IgvFromComputeNode

= Remote X11 display from compute node =

Alternately, you can use VNC which can be faster for slow connections: Setting_Up_VNC_Session

Example program: IGV

Install/Start X on Desktop

 * Windows: X-Win32 from UAB IT

ssh -X to cheaha
Connect to cheaha head node with X-forwarding: ssh -X cheaha.uabgrid.uab.edu # check that "echo $DISPLAY" shows you something # check that "xterm" works

Windows/ PuTTY ssh
Check that Connection > SSH > X11 has a checkmark next to "Enable X11 forwarding"

Get a compute node
# 4 hours, 6G RAM qlogin -N IGV_6g -l h_rt=0:04:00,vf=6G # check that "echo $DISPLAY" shows you something # check that "xterm" works
 * allocate compute node with qlogin, with appropriate time/memory
 * WARNING: if you run IGV on the cluster head-node, you will bring on the wrath of the cluster admins!!

IGV
# WARNING: run only on compute nodes, NEVER on head-node /share/apps/ngs-ccts/IGV/igv.sh # or  /share/apps/ngs-ccts/IGV/igv6g  # doesn't seem to give 6G ram...
