Chapter: File systems

This video provides an overview of the file systems including their properties and availability on each cluster.

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 and their content are a 'work in progress' and will be continuously updated.
