 To get access to the cluster you should talk to [[a.orth@cgiar.org|Alan Orth]] (he sits in Lab 2).  Once you have access you should read up on [[Using SLURM|SLURM]] so you can learn how to submit jobs to the cluster. To get access to the cluster you should talk to [[a.orth@cgiar.org|Alan Orth]] (he sits in Lab 2).  Once you have access you should read up on [[Using SLURM|SLURM]] so you can learn how to submit jobs to the cluster.

 The cluster is arranged in a master/slave configuration; users log into HPC (the master) and use it as a "jumping off point" to the rest of the cluster.
