Accessing the service

Once your account has been created (as a result of a successful application for HPC time) then you can access Apollo via ssh.

Most Windows users use PuTTY to connect to Lovelace. PuTTY is pre-installed on centrally supported PCs.

If you are logging into your account from a Linux or Macintosh computer, you will have ssh available to you automatically, or via the use of your Linux distribution's package manager.

You must log in to your cluster account using secure shell (SSH):

ssh username@apollo.lboro.ac.uk

...where username is your University account username.

Apollo is not accessible from off-campus except by using the VPN service.
