Getting Started

Steps to getting started using the LQCD systems at Jefferson Lab:

1. Get a user account
2. Learn about file systems and data management
3. Learn to create and submit batch scripts
4. Learn about transferring files to/from JLab

The sub-sections below will walk you through an overview of these steps; additional, more detailed information can be found in the subsequent chapters.

Considerable information about the status of the computing resources is available at the LQCD / HPC Portal: lqcd.jlab.org, described in the last subsection.
