h1. Setup Remote Processing 

 The web interface for Appion allows one to directly login to a computer and process Appion jobs. But this requires a job submission system to be installed. 

 h2. Types of clusters: 

 * Local cluster a.k.a. processing host — this is a cluster that has all of the data directories mounted locally and all processing software installed 
 * Remote cluster a.k.a. cluster — this is a cluster that has a limited selection of software and the data is not accessible 

 h2. Local Cluster Appion processing setup 

 The following applies to both the web-server computer (setup earlier) and a job submission system on a local cluster. The job submission system usually consists of a head node (main computer) for receiving recieving and scheduling jobs and individual processing nodes (slave computers) for running jobs. All of these system CAN exist on an single computer. 

 # [[Setup job submission server]] 
 # [[Install SSH module for PHP]] 
 # [[Configure web server to submit job to local cluster]] 
 # [[Testing job submission]] 
 # [[Potential job submission problems]] 

 h2. Remote Appion Processing through ssh setup
