Jupyterlab

Jupyterlab is a popular interactive Python notebook manager. This service runs on a Stoomboot node with 64 cores and 512 GB memory.

To use the service go to https://callysto.nikhef.nl/ and log on via Nikhef SSO. The notebook will run under your Nikhef account with full access to your home directory, project and data shares, and dCache.

To customize your Python environment, go to File→New→Terminal and use e.g.
