Cluster access
The BSC LPC is behind the PSOM fire wall.
ssh access is supported through scisub.pmacs.upenn.edu.
ssh -XY holder@sciscub.pmacs.upenn.edu
Use transfer.pmacs.upenn.edu to scp files to and from the BSC PMACS cluser.
sshfs holder@tranfer.pmacs.upenn.edu ~/mnt
scisub.pmacs.upenn.edu does not allow scp, or sftp access.
Use sciget.pmacs.upenn.edu to pull/push data from websites, github. scisub, transfer, and the bsclpc compute nodes block outside access.

Login nodes
Once logged into scisub.pmacs.upenn.edu, you can login to one of the interactive BSC LPC nodes with
$ QUEUE=bsc ibash
for normal shell access.
The default queue is set in your ~/.bash_profile. You can change it at any time.
You may also specify a particulare host or set of hosts with:
bsub -Is -q bsc_interactive -m "bsc04 bsc05" bash
to restrict a new shell to bsc04 or bsc05
X11 forwarding
Use xbash to tunnel X connections
$ QUEUE=bsc xbash
$ xeyes
Currently there is no x2go equivalent for X11 forwarding.
