Here’s the anonymized and summarized version of the query:

Summary

A user needs to verify their access to the Maxwell cluster for a short-term project (10/02/2026–15/02/2026). Their task involves running Python scripts for data analysis and requires confirmation of access permissions.

Solution

  1. Check Access:
  2. Log in to the Maxwell cluster via SSH (e.g., ssh [USERNAME]@maxwell.desy.de).

  3. If successful, access is confirmed. If not, proceed to request access.

  4. Request Access (if needed):

  5. Email [maxwell.service@desy.de] with a brief explanation of the intended use (e.g., "Python-based data analysis for a short-term project").

  6. Specify the required resource (e.g., maxwell-resource or partitions like maxcpu).

  7. Prepare for Use:

  8. Review the Getting Started guide.
  9. For Python-specific help, refer to the HPC Seminar on Python.
