Looks great and is certainly useful for a quick check. For finer discrimination a real graphical display will still be required though, e.g. for checking bonds, and geometries.
- kergonath 5y agoSounds very useful to check whatever the HPC is doing from a SSH session without having to move files around.
- gilleain 5y agoHeh I wonder whether the venerable Rasmol could be used for this. It was originally developed in a much more client-server world.
- kergonath 5y agoMost of the time it's impossible because even if we can connect from the head node to the compute nodes, we cannot open an X tunnel there. So at the moment what I do is copy the latest file to a filesystem on the head node and then run a lightweight X visualiser on the head node (Rasmol or equivalent is fine there). We have fancy complicated visualisers and they are great, but I really hope the (often old) barebone ones that work over an SSH tunnel on a flaky VPN keep working for a very long time.
