Using the GWDG Scientific Compute Cluster – An Introduction

This is a very old introduction to our HPC system. A lot has changed since then.
The basic principles still apply, so we kept this up for reference, but most names,
especially hostnames, names of partitions, etc. have changed and are no longer valid.

Please take a look at our current documentation for up-to-date information.

These videos were recorded a while ago and a few things have changed since then. They remain largely relevant and are still helpful today, so we'll keep them online, but please take the exact commands used, especially when connecting to the cluster via ssh with a grain of salt. Please refer to our documentation for up-to-date information on anything that did not work as shown in the videos.
