Class Accounts

All projects should compile and will be tested on the GRACE cluster, and specifically on one of the linux.grace.umd.edu machines. To access GRACE, you will need a Glue account. Click here for information about gaining access to and using the GRACE cluster, as well as requesting a Glue account.

Once your account is activated, you should be able to access GRACE by using an SSH client. Click here to see a list of OIT-supported SSH software. Use your client to connect to linux.grace.umd.edu using your Directory ID and password.

If you have trouble connecting to GRACE or questions about class accounts, please notify the teaching assistant.

In order to submit your work using the GRACE cluster, log on linux.grace.umd.edu with your Directory ID and password, and run a command of the following format:

submit 2012 fall cmsc 420 0101 <homework #> <your archive>.zip

where <homework #> represents the number corresponding to the homework number (1 for the first, 2 for the second, etc), and <your archive>.zip is the archive containing the files of your homework. For example: submit 2012 fall cmsc 420 0101 1 hw01.zip

Here is a set of instructions for the submission using the GRACE cluster.
