There is a scheduled outage that will affect nanoHUB.org simulation runs from Tuesday, May 15, 2012 at 6am EDT (10:00 UTC) until Thursday, May 17, 2012 at 5pm EDT (21:00 UTC). This outage will affect simulation jobs running on the Rossmann and Coates machines. Further details about affected tools can be found HERE. We apologize for the inconvenience.

share a session

When I am in the carrier statistics lab tool, there is an option to “share a session.” Below this, there is a link: What does it mean to share a session? When I click on this link, I am directed to the knowledge base, but not to any information on sharing a session. https://nanohub.org/kb/tips/share

Where can I find this information?

Thank you!

    Sharing a session means that you can allow another registered user to see the tool session as you are running it. For example, if you wanted to show someone a plot of Fermi level vs. Temperature for a specific doping level, you can run the calculation in Carrier Statistics Lab, then share the session by typing the other user’s login name in the “Share session” box. That user can then see the same session (tool parameters, outputs, etc) by choosing the shared session from his/her My HUB page.

    Thank you for that description. I have a few related questions.

    1) Am I correct that it is the data that is the results of the simulation that are shared. The other users can then look at the data with whatever representation they choose.

    2) Do I need to keep the simulation running in order to share it? What happens if I share a simulation and then quit the simulation?

      The whole simulation window is shared. As an example, I shared a Crystal Viewer tool session with you, showing a Si lattice. You can mark a session Read-Only if you like, so the person (or people) with whom you share it can only see the results. In non-Read-Only mode you can also run the tool in my session. Those with whom you share can download results just like you can, but you do need to keep the session going. If I close the Crystal Viewer session, you won’t be able to see the tool or get any results from it.

        You probably know that you can close the browser window/tab in which the session is running, but the session will persist. You can re-open it from your My HUB page. The session will be closed for good if you click the Close button in the upper right of the tool page.
