GUI Access

The CNM holds 2 GUI licenses (for running CAD), each with accompanying FDTD licenses, and 10 additional engine licenses.

There are two means to access Carbon's Lumerical licenses:

  1. X11 forwarding.
  2. License port forwarding.

X11 mode

Use the CAD X11 app on a Carbon login node.

  • Requires X11 forwarding under SSH.
  • Disadvantage: May run slow or unstable.

Run CAD natively on your desktop, but connect to the Lumerical license server on Carbon.
