Chapter: Access to the HPC system

In this video, we provide an overview of how to access the HPC system. The explanations include options for all users, Linux, Windows, and Mac OS.

The Center of Information Services and High Performance Computing (ZIH) at TU Dresden, offers an Introduction course for HPC (High Performance Computing) system users twice a year. The presentation was recorded and divided into chapters, which were then respoken using an AI-generated voice. The videos an their content are a work in progress and will be continuously updated.
