Cloud-COPASI can connect to existing Condor, PBS, LSF, Sun/Oracle Grid Engine, and Slurm compute pools by using the Bosco software package. In order to connect, Cloud-COPASI requires SSH access to a submit node running Linux on the compute pool (see below for details on setting up SSH keys).

To connect to a compute pool, sign in to your account, and visit the 'Connect to existing pool' page. You will need to enter the address of the submit node, along with the username you use to log in. In order to submit jobs to the remote pool, Bosco will install a small binary package on the remote machine. This binary is pre-compiled for the Debian 6, Red Hat 5 and Red Hat 6 Linux distributions - you must select one of these platforms when you connect. If the machine you are connect to is not running Debian or Red Hat, then we recommend selecting Debian 6, and trying the other platforms if you experience problems connecting.

Cloud Copasi is currently in the local version. In this version you are automatically connected to the UCHC HPC Pool. There is no need to configure SSH access. We have already done it for you! You can directly go to your pool and submit jobs.

Cloud Copasi is currently configured in the local version. You will not be able to access AWS Pools or manage the keys. In order to do that, please email us.
