Remote Connection Manager (RCM)

The development of Remote Connection Manager (RCM) was co-funded by the HBP during the Ramp-up Phase. This page is kept for reference but will no longer be updated.


The Remote Connection Manager (RCM) is an application that allows HPC users to perform remote visualisation on Cineca HPC clusters.

The tool offers to

  • Visualize the data produced on Cineca’s HPC systems (scientific visualization);
  • Analyse and inspect data directly on the systems;
  • Debug and profile parallel codes running on the HPC clusters.

The graphical interface of RCM allows the HPC users to easily create remote displays and to manage them (connect, kill, refresh).
