Overview

Multi-case calculations are required for parametric calculations and optimization calculations, and by using the large number of cores of remote machines that are connected by a network, processing can be distributed and accelerated (Fig. a). One method available for performing remote executions is using remote machines via SSH (Secure Shell).
There does exist the possibility, however, that individual users will be unable to configure SSH settings for remote machines owing to company security, etc. In JMAG-Designer, a function is available for sending SSH settings configured on local machines to remote machines.
This document describes the method for sending SSH settings configured on local machines to remote machines for executing other case calculations.
