 ===== LSCE servers =====
+==== The LSCE gateway ====
+''ssh1.lsce.ipsl.fr''
+    * Use ''ssh ssh1.lsce.ipsl.fr'' when you are **outside the LSCE wired network**, before accessing any other LSCE server:
+      * By **//outside LSCE//**, we mean that your computer is:
+        * connected to the LSCE WiFi network (instead of the wired network)
+        * or physically outside LSCE
+    * You can also use ''ssh1'' when you are **copying files to/from outside LSCE** with ''scp'' or ssh-based tools
+    * <wrap hi>The ''ssh1'' gateway can **only** be used for copying files or accessing the LSCE interactive servers</wrap>!
+      * **You have to** connect to an ''obelix//NN//'' interactive server before doing any real work
+==== The LSCE interactive servers ====
+''obelix//NN//'' (''obelix2'' to ''obelix5'')
+    * Use ''ssh obelix'' to access the LSCE servers from **inside LSCE**.\\ The //load balancing// system will send you to the ''obelix//NN//'' server that has currently the smallest load.
+      * By **//inside LSCE//**, we mean that:
+        * your computer is connected to the LSCE **wired** network
+        * or you are using the [[https://intranet.lsce.ipsl.fr/informatique/fr/vpn-forticlient.php#vpnlsce|LSCE VPN]]
+        * or you have a //terminal// connected to the ''ssh1'' gateway
+    * <wrap hi>Never forget that you are **sharing** these interactive servers with other users!</wrap>
+      * <wrap hi>Do not use too much CPU and/or memory for a long time</wrap>. Heavy computation should be done on the [[https://intranet.lsce.ipsl.fr/informatique/en/calcul/batch.php|LSCE cluster]]
+      * Learn how to [[other:newppl:starting#determining_the_load_of_a_linux_server|use the top command]] to determine the current load of a server and the CPU/memory usage of your processes !
+    * You can use one of the following commands if you want to know on which ''obelixNN'' you are
+      * <code>$ ssh obelix
+Last login: Mon Jun  3 08:49:53 2019 from somewhere
+$ echo $HOST
+obelix5
+$ hostname
+obelix5</code>
+    * In a python script, you can use the following to get some information
+      * <code>>>> import os
+>>> os.getlogin(), os.getenv('HOST')
+('mylogin', 'obelix5')</code>
+==== The LSCE cluster ====
+  * **[[https://intranet.lsce.ipsl.fr/informatique/en/calcul/batch.php|The LSCE cluster]]** (aka the //batch system//)\\ Use this cluster for **//heavy duty// programs**, rather than killing the multi-users interactive servers
+    * //Heavy duty// programs are programs that will prevent other users from working on the same server because these programs use a lot of CPU and/or memory for more than a few minutes. Ask your advisor, if you are not sure
+==== The LSCE JupyterHub notebook server ====
+    * Read the [[other:python:starting#using_jupyterhub_servers|Using JupyterHub servers]] section of the //Working with Python// page
@@ Line 100: / Line 147: @@
+  * **The [[https://documentations.ipsl.fr/spirit/|IPSL Computing and Data Center]]**, aka //Mésocentre ESPRI// (''Spirit'' / ''SpiritX'' / ''HAL'')
+    * Note: the ''Spirit''/''X'' clusters have replaced the ''ciclad''/''climserv'' cluster (in 2022)
+    * You will need a specific account (different from your //LSCE// account) to access these servers and use data files that are already available/mirrored there (e.g. **''CMIPn'' data**).\\ **Do not duplicate** at LSCE data  already available on IPSL servers and that you can process there!
