• connection from Windows: use an ssh client like putty, or use cygwin

This is a list of hostnames: gks-084 gks-088 gks-098

compilaton and execution of code

Most examples consist of just one cpp file, i.e. no header file, no additional library. Use the following commands to compile and run the code:

g++ mycode.cpp
./a.out

For C++11 support do:

g++ -std=c++11
./a.out
