BwUniCluster2.0/First Steps
Contents
1 General Workflow of Running a Calculation
On a compute cluster, you do not simply run log in and your software, but you write a "job script" that contains all commands to run and process your job and send this into a waiting queue to be run on one of several hundred computers.
How this is done is described in a little more detail here: Running Calculations
