ALICE - SHARK HPC wiki
Welcome to the new user wiki of the ALICE and SHARK HPC clusters.
This wiki provides information about the ALICE HPC cluster at Leiden University and the SHARK HPC cluster at the Leiden University Medical Center.
Whether you are a novice users or a regular user on one of the clusters (or even both) or perhaps you just want to know more about ALICE or SHARK, this wiki is your main resource.
There used to be separate user wikis for both clusters. However, there is a great deal of overlap in terms of information that you as a user need to work on ALICE or SHARK. Therefore, we decided to combine the previous wikis in a new joined HPC user wiki.
We welcome your feedback and suggestions for new content.
