Training on the SambaNova DataScale SN30

The SambaNova DataScale is a fully-integrated hardware-software AI system for model training, fine-tuning, and inference.

Connection to SambaNova

Connection to a SambaNova node is a two-step process. The first step is to ssh to the login node. The second step is to log in to a SambaNova node from the login node.

Log in to Login Node

Log in to the SambaNova login node from your local machine. This uses the MobilePASS+ token generated every time you log in to the system.

In the example below, replace ALCFUserID with your ALCF user id.

ssh [email protected]
Password: < MobilePASS+ code >

Log in to a SambaNova Node

Once you are on the login node, ssh to one of the SambaNova nodes. For example:

ssh sn30-r1-h1       

You can also ssh to sn30-r1-h2, sn30-r2-h1, sn30-r2-h2, sn30-r3-h1, sn30-r3-h2, sn30-r4-h1, sn30-r4-h2.

SambaNova Example Programs

Use the examples of well-known AI applications under the path: /opt/sambaflow/apps, on all SambaNova compute nodes.

Make a copy of this to your home directory:

cp -r /opt/sambaflow/apps/ ~

Virtual Environments

SambaNova software stack and associated environmental variables are setup at login.

Each of the samples or application examples provided by SambaNova has its own pre-built virtual environment which can be readily used. They are present in the /opt/sambaflow/apps/ directory tree within each of the applications.
