This repository is not meant as a tutorial itself but to help you navigate the journey of using a hpc cluster. Below we described the necessary steps to work with the hpc cluster for UGent and link to the university pages with relevant information. If you are curious what a hpc cluster is and whether it would be useful for your research vist https://docs.hpc.ugent.be/Windows/introduction/
The first step to working with the hpc cluster is through a vsc account (https://docs.hpc.ugent.be/Windows/account/), you can also generate a public and private key-pair to ensure safe access to the cluster but this is not required if you exclusively use the web-interface. Note for non-windows users that the web links assumes a windows system, you can change this at the upper right corner of the webpage for your OS specific documentation.
Follow the steps described here to connect to the ugent cluster (https://docs.hpc.ugent.be/Windows/connecting/). Once you can connect to one cluster you can also connect to any other cluster of the Flemish universities, you can access details on all these clusters here (https://docs.vscentrum.be/compute/infrastructure.html).
The hpc cluster works via a linux interface so it might be useful to spend some time on getting to know a basis of linux, you can find some documentation on that here (https://docs.hpc.ugent.be/Windows/linux-tutorial/) as well as anywhere on the internet ;) Note that the UGent vsc documentation holds much more info on interacting with the hpc cluster, such as job submission, software installation, use of the web tool, etc. Just explore the webpage https://docs.hpc.ugent.be/Windows/
