Does this look right?

Yes this looks good. I fixed a few things and added some more detail.
We can't use nbodykit on the logins nodes due to the MPI initialization failure, but I've added more about Jupyter Hub. We might want to add a full section on it. Jupyter-dev is getting a lot better now -- you can submit jobs using https://github.com/NERSC/slurm-magic!

I remember clearly seeing Chirag running nbodykit from the login node with the bccp channel binary (and mpich from anaconda). It didn't work because of the GLIBC version issue, but Cray updated to GLIBC 2.22 'very recently' ( less than a month?) And yes, never leave the notebook again -- except waiting for the jobs to finish.. jobs has to talk to notebook via files -- this is where BigFileCatalog and BigFileMesh becomes handy I assume. |

@rainwoodman you are right, it works on the login nodes with anaconda. I've updated the notes |
