-You will assigned one or both clusters based on your simulation needs by Dr. Klauda. These instructions work for both, so do these on the cluster(s) you are assigned. Dr. Klauda will submit a request to add you as a user to my account on DT1 and/or DT2. Once this is done, you should get a generic email from IT regarding the resource.

-If you are not familiar with the use of LINUX, I would first go through some on-line tutorials for commands to use in LINUX and here ([[Linux Guide]]). To login to DT1 (login.deepthought.umd.edu) or DT2 (login.deepthought2.umd.edu) with Windows you will need to have PuTTY ([[Extra Software]]) to connect to deepthought:

 Built-in commands for MAC users can be used to connect via the command line (scp) and apps for file transfer (eg, cyberduck).
-Then, take a general look at the website of the HPCC OIT to get a general idea on how to login and submit jobs.  Your jobs should not run in your home directory.  They should instead be in the /lustre directory.  You should first make a subdirectory in this with your username (mkdir is the command). Running simulations should be in organized directories.  So think of some naming scheme for simulations. Before starting a simulation, you will need to make a slight change to you .cshrc file in your home directory.  Using the program pico or vm type the following when you are in your home directory:

 This is needed for the simulations to allow for files to write over existing files.
