The Introductory User Tutorial is designed to familiarize you with MPCDF's compute and data services. In the first part, we provide an overview of MPCDF's mission and highlight its key services, along with a step-by-step guide on how to obtain a user account. Moving on, the second talk delves into MPCDF's supercomputers, covering their hardware specifications, software environment, filesystems, and file transfer and archiving workflows. The final part offers a comprehensive introduction to using the Slurm batch system, demonstrating its functionalities through practical examples and job scripts drawn from MPCDF's supercomputers. Throughout the talks, feel free to ask questions via chat. Plus, we offer a dedicated Q&A session afterwards. This tutorial aims to simplify the initial experience for newcomers to MPCDF's services. We conduct it twice a year, typically in spring and autumn, and past presentation slides are available for reference.
