Basics

Elysium provides four login nodes: login1.elysium.hpc.rub.de, …, login4.elysium.hpc.rub.de. These are your entry points to the cluster.

After login, you typically use them to prepare your software and copy your data to the appropriate locations.

You can then allocate resources on the cluster using the Slurm workload manager.

After submitting your request, Slurm will grant you the resources as soon as they are free and your priority is higher than the priority of other jobs that might be waiting for some of the same resources.

Your priority depends on your waiting time and your remaining FairShare.
