Attention: Research Computing Documentation has Moved

Please use the new documentation url https://docs.rc.uab.edu/ for all Research Computing documentation needs.


As a result of this move, we have deprecated use of this wiki for documentation. We are providing read-only access to the content to facilitate migration of bookmarks and to serve as an historical record. All content updates should be made at the new documentation site. The original wiki will not receive further updates.

Remote display from compute node

Example program: IGV

  1. Install & Launch X-Win on your desktop machine
  1. 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
  • allocate compute node with qlogin, with appropriate time/memory
 # 4 hours, 6G RAM
 qlogin -l h_rt=0:04:00,vf=6G
 # check that "echo $DISPLAY" shows you something
 # check that "xterm" works
  • launch IGV
 /share/apps/ngs-ccts/IGV/igv.sh
 # or
 /share/apps/ngs-ccts/IGV/igv6g  # doesn't seem to give 6G ram...
