DACHS/Getting Started
General Workflow of Running a Calculation
On a compute cluster, you do not simply log into the Cluster and run your software on the login node. Rather you write a "job script" that contains all commands to run and process your job. This job script is sent into a queue via the SLURM job scheduler to be run on one (or many) of the compute nodes.
Please follow the links for more details and example on job scripts. The overall process is described in more detail here: → Running Calculations
Get Access to the Cluster
Follow the registration process for the DACHS Cluster: → How to Register
Login to the Cluster
Setup service password and 2FA token and login to the cluster: → Login DACHS
Using the Linux Commandline
