 To get access to the cluster you should talk to [[d.githae@cgiar.org|Dedan Githae]] (he sits in BecA). 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 [[d.githae@cgiar.org|Dedan Githae]] (he sits in BecA).
