Viz Nodes¶
The Viz nodes provide a graphical desktop interface accessible through a web browser, allowing users to run visualization software and GUI-based applications directly on CRCD resources. They are intended for tasks such as data visualization, interactive analysis, and visual debugging.
For instructions on accessing the graphical Viz environment, see the Linux Desktop web portal documentation.
