This is a series of exercises that will walk you through the basic tasks as you get on board the Atos HPCF or ECS computing platforms.

Prerequisites

In order to follow this tutorial, these are the prerequisites you must fulfil before starting:

  • You must have a valid ECMWF account with privileges to access HPCF or ECS. If you only have access to ECS, you may need to skip certain exercises involving HPCF.
  • You must have 2 Factor Authentication enabled with TOTP.
  • You must be able to connect with at least one of the following methods:
