#### Jobs Menu

Jobs can be monitored, created, edited and scheduled with the job management tools under the “Jobs” menu.

* __Active Jobs:__ Under the “Active Jobs” tab you can view active jobs. You can choose to view your jobs (or all jobs) as well as choose from specific clusters (Blanca, Summit, Viz-Core, or all Custers). From this menu you can cancel your own jobs.

* __Job Composer:__ Create and edit job scripts and schedule jobs under this menu. OSC's File Transfer and Management help page provides details on its use.

#### Shell Access

The Clusters tab provides shell access to login nodes on CURC clusters. The shell terminal is similar to many other tools that provide terminal access.

* __Summit:__ The Summit tab will launch a terminal that RC users can use to manually access an RC Login node. After the tab opens, type your CURC password and accept the Duo push to your phone to complete login to the terminal.

* __Blanca:__ The Blanca tab will launch a terminal that RC users can use to manually access an RC Login node. After the tab opens, type your CURC password and accept the Duo push to your phone to complete login to the terminal. To load the Blanca Slurm environment, make sure to type “module load slurm/blanca upon login. More information on using the Blanca cluster can be found here.

1. When starting a Remote Desktop session on the Viz cluster you may customize the resources allocated to the session and other characteristics of the dispatched Slurm job. The default will open a Remote Desktop with 1 node (2 cores) for 1 hour (no need to specify account).
2. Click “launch” to submit the Remote Destop job to the queue. The wait time depends on the number of cores as well as time requested.
3. When your Remote Desktop is ready you can click the “Launch VIZ CORE VNC.” In most cases the default compression and image quality will suffice but if you do have problems with image quality of the Remote Desktop you can adjust these settings as necessary.
