Using the VSC Jupyterhub¶

The VSc has a jupyterhub on jupyterhub.vsc and offers a few nodes to all users with accounts.

You can run interactive Notebook sessions on VSC4 and VSC5.

You can get access to A100 and A40 (VSC4) GPU nodes if you need. That might be a good way to test your code, before requesting more resources via the batch system.

Spawning a new notebook server¶

One has to make a decision from the available options:

1. Select a profile (VSC4 or VSC5)

There are basic options:

• VSC4 Singularity
• VSC5 Singularity
• VSC4 python venv (virtual environment)

2. Select the singularity/apptainer image to use:

3. Select the necessary resources:

   • Memory
   • Cores
   • Runtime

If you are ready, then press start and wait until your Notebook server is served and you are redirected.

Opening this page in a new tab allows you to get a feeling for the usage of that service.

Using the VSC Jupyterhub¶

The Jupyterhub is a bit different from the Jupyterhub on JET. Some of the profiles (singularity) are containerized runtimes, which have only limited access to the host (no VSC modules), but profiles like python venv do.
