	To log in to GlaDOS, connect to glados.ucalgary.ca using an ssh (secure shell) client. For more information about connecting and setting up your environment, the [https://www.westgrid.ca/support/quickstart/new_users WestGrid QuickStart Guide for New Users (external link)] may be helpful. Note that connections are accepted only from on-campus IP addresses. You can connect from off-campus by using Virtual Private Network (VPN) software available from Information Techologies.

	The GlaDOS login node may be used for short interactive runs during development (under 15 minutes). Production runs and longer test runs should be submitted as batch jobs using the sbatch command. Batch jobs are submitted through the Slurm job management and scheduling software. Processors may also be reserved for interactive sessions, in a similar manner to batch jobs, using the salloc command.

	Most of the information on the Running Jobs page on the Compute Canada web site is also relevant for submitting and managing batch jobs and reserving processors for interactive work on GlaDOS. One difference is that no --accounts specification is needed for GlaDOS. Another relates to partitions, as explained below.
