Jupyter Notebooks have become increasingly popular among different fields of science.  A Jupyter Notebook provides a flexible and user-friendly interface to perform interactive (super) computing and also enables reproducible science.  This includes live code, equations and visualizations. It supports several languages like Python (IPython), Julia, R etc.

At the DKRZ, we provide different solutions to launch notebooks on our Supercomputer Mistral: ssh scripts or centralized services. In this first talk we are going to introduce the Jupyterhub service at the DKRZ, more precisely the newly deployed release. Jupyterhub is a multi-user server that allows spawning single-user notebook servers via a web browser.
 
In the talk, we covered the following items:
  • access and log in to the service
  • launch Jupyter notebooks
  • switch/enable kernels and interfaces
  • and more
