Getting Started¶

Connection to a CS-3 node¶

Connection to one of the CS-3 cluster login nodes requires an MFA passcode for authentication - an 8-digit passcode generated by an app on your mobile device (MobilePASS+) or Cryptocard. The same passcode system is used to authenticate into other ALCF systems, such as Polaris.
In the examples below, replace ALCFUserID with your ALCF user id.
To connect to a CS-3 login:

ssh to the login node:

ssh ALCFUserID@cerebras.alcf.anl.gov

Then ssh to a cerebras user node:

ssh cer-usn-01

ssh cer-usn-02
