Managing compute nodes

The compute nodes available for distributed calculation can be managed in the Compute nodes window (Managing compute nodes), from step 5.

Compute nodes are identified via a network address that is also specified in the calculation server. To add new compute nodes, you may enter this address manually. Alternatively, use a search function to automatically find available compute nodes. However, when using the search function, you will only find compute nodes within the same subnetwork. When making the manual entry, you can also use compute nodes of other network parts.

Access is not limited to via local networks, but can also be made via the Internet (if the addresses and ports for the TCI/IP protocol have been cleared by the firewalls).
