Using SecretLab GPU Servers

GPU Servers

SGPUW1: 172.30.200.1 (3x RTX 6000 Ada 48GB)

SGPUW2: 172.30.200.2 (1x RTX 4090 24GB, 1x RTX 4080 16GB, 1x QRTX 8000 48GB)

Connect to SecretLab VPN

SGPUW1 and SGPUW2 are only accessible via SecretLab VPN. Download SecretLab VPN profile from Nextcloud, install the profile on your client device, and then connect to SecretLab VPN before attempting to access these GPU servers.

Note: SecretLab VPN does NOT tunnel your Internet traffic, only the SecretLab VPN subnet traffic is routed thru it.

If RDP or SSH fails to connect, remember the first thing to check is if SecretLab VPN is connected or not!

Connect To SecretLab GPU Servers (SGPUW1, SGPUW2)

To connect to the GPU, take the following steps:

Open up your terminal, then ssh into the GPU. Example: $ ssh <username>@172.30.200.1.

This would request your already assigned password. You can either type in or copy-paste in the password.

Then you can do $ nvidia-smi to see the number of GPUs and available GPUs. to activate a GPU.

The command is $ genv activate --gpus <number of GPU>.

If you ls when you log in through the terminal, you will encounter something funny because you will have zero or no directories. to resolve this, you have to log into the VM (Microsoft remote Desktop) of the lab. then, you open remote desktop connection.

This should ask for the computer, you would input the IP address (172.30.200.1) and then click connect.

This should lead you to where you input your username and password. You should input your assigned username and password here and click 'OK'

Logging in through this should create your directories automatically for you. You can check this by opening up the terminal in the remote desktop connection and typing in ls to see your directory. then you can log out and close the remote desktop.
